AKA: none

Other ID: B-2-94-PS,WA94

Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s): Bremerton Sediment Transport Study (MU025)

Principal Investigator(s): George Tate

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Imagery: Photo, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography), Environmental Data: Temperature, Environmental Data: Current, Environmental Data: CTD, Environmental Data: Depth

Scientific Purpose/Goals: This was a cooperative study with WRD to study sediment resuspension and transport for the Bremerton Naval Facility. Data were collected and submitted to the Navys prime contractor for analysis and development of a sediment/polutant transport model.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location:

End Port/Location:

Start Date: 1994-02-18

End Date: 1994-03-29

Equipment Used: underwatercamera, suspendedsediment, Geoprobe, transmissometer, thermistor, currentmeter, CTD, pressuresensor

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Retrieved equipment that gathered tidal, current, and transmissivity data over a 5 week period. Formatted data for transfer to URS, the Navys contractor. Summary data analysis of mean currents, tidal pressure and transmissivity have been performed.
