Other ID: 22BIM01; 22BIM02

Status: Pending

Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Next-Generation Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast (GX.25.MN00.U0310.00)

Principal Investigator(s): Margaret Palmsten

Affiliate Investigator(s): Mark Buckley

Information Specialist(s): Billy Reynolds, Andrew Farmer, Chelsea Stalk, Nancy DeWitt

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Benchmarks, Sonar: Sound Velocity, Sonar: Single Beam, Sonar: Multibeam, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Resurveying a portion of the single-beam Echosounder Data (SBES) tracklines acquired under FAN 2017-305-FA specifically 17TST02, 17TST03, and 17TST04. Acquiring Multibeam Echosounder Data (MBES) along a pre defined polygon trajectory. The trajectory is the roof top mounted camera's line of sight nearshore Madeira Beach out to the ADCP offshore spotter buoy. Bathymetry data will assist researchers with wave data interpretation on and benthic morphology of the seafloor on the approach to and within the view of the the camera system.
