View new CMGDS report form

AKA: none

Other ID: A-4-02-HW, A402HW

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Coral Reefs (MU070)

Principal Investigator(s): Michael Field

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Joshua Logan, Curt Storlazzi

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: Current, Environmental Data: Temperature, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Environmental Data: Wave, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collect in situ measurements of currents, waves and suspended sediment in coral reef environments using tripod mounted instrument packages to assist in determining physical constraints on coral distribution.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Lahaina, Maui

End Port/Location: Lahaina, Maui

Start Date: 2002-11-13

End Date: 2002-11-19

Equipment Used: ADP, opticalbackscattersensor, wavepressure, ADV, CTmeter, navigation, tripod

Information to be Derived: Current speed and direction, suspended sediment concentration, salinity, wave height and period.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Maui instrument tripod and mini-probe will be recovered from location using the vessel Alyce C. Data from the previous deployment will be downloaded and the instruments will be refurbished at the Maui Ocean Center. The instruments will be redeployed at the same locations for further measurements.
