AKA: none
Other ID: A-6-03-HW
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, Imagery: Photo, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Recover, refurbish and re-deploy instrument packages which collect in situ measurements of currents, waves and suspended sediment in coral reef environments off Northwest Maui, Hawaii. Recover previously deployed tripod mounted camera system, which collects underwater digital imagery of live coral and sediment suspension and accumulation at a specific time interval.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Lahaina, Maui
End Port/Location: Lahaina, Maui
Start Date: 2003-10-14
End Date: 2003-10-21
Equipment Used: opticalbackscattersensor, wavepressure, ADV, CTmeter, navigation, tripod, ADP, camera
Information to be Derived: Current speed and direction, suspended sediment concentration, salinity, wave height and period.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Maui instrument tripods, mini-probes and wave gauges will be recovered from location using the vessel Alyce C. Data from the previous deployment will be downloaded and the instruments will be refurbished. Some of the instruments will be re-deployed at the same locations for further measurements.

Notes: Field activities A-4-03-HW and A-6-03-HW are related. Joshua Logan wrote on Jul 21, 2010: A403HW - Maui, June, 2003 (deployed sediment hydrodynamic tripods, bottom mounted ADCPs, and Dobie wave gauges, AND collected data with a mobile ADCP, CTD profiler and GPS drifters). A603HW - Maui, October, 2003 (retrieved above instruments, re-deployed wave gauges). Curt Storlazzi wrote on Jul 21, 2010: The instruments recovered in a-6-03-hw were deployed in a-4-03-hw. There were no moorings- all bottom-mounted instrument packages. The drifters were just deployed in a-4-03-hw.
