Other ID: I-1-90-AT,AMASSEDS_CRUISE_II

Status: Completed

Organization(s): Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Washington, USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Universidade Federal Do Sao Paulo, Federal University of Rio De Janeiro, Universidade Federal Do Para, Universidade Federal Fluminense

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s):

Affiliate Investigator(s): Robert W. Sternberg (University of Washington)

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler

Scientific Purpose/Goals: To measure current velocities, waves, wind speed and direction, and suspended sediment concentrations on the continental shelf off Amapa.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Belem, Brazil

End Port/Location: Belem, Brazil

Start Date: 1990-02-07

End Date: 1990-02-13

Equipment Used: CTD, transmissometer, subbottomprofiler

Information to be Derived: Current velocities, waves, wind speed and direction, suspended sediment concentrations, conductivity, temperature, depth, continuous sub-bottom acoustic profiles.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Instruments were deployed to measure current velocities, waves, windspeed and direction and suspended sediment concentrations on the continental shelf off Amapa. the instruments, which belong to Institito de Oceanografia Universidade de Sao Paulo and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, were deployed from three moorintgs at 18 m, 63 m, and 101 m isobaths. Additionally, limited CTD/transmissometer (conductivity, temperature and depth/ suspended sediment measurements) casts were made and continuous sub-bottom acoustic profile records were collected while underway. Instruments belonging to the University of Washington and the USGS were deployed on a bottom mounted tripod at a 63 m water depth at site M-2.
