AKA: none
Other ID: P-3-96-NC
Status: Completed
Organization(s):
Funding Program(s): Internal Waves over the Upper Continental Slope off Northern California (MU150)
Principal Investigator(s): George Tate
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Joanne C. Ferreira
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To measure the internal wave field on the upper continental slope over long time duration (> 1 year), and to estimate the effects of internal waves on the transport of sediment over the slope.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Pacific Affiliates A-Dock, Eureka, CA
End Port/Location: Pacific Affiliates A-Dock, Eureka, CA
Start Date: 1996-01-13
End Date: 1996-01-13
Equipment Used: navigation, Geoprobe
Information to be Derived: Seasonal changes in the internal temperature field over the slope, with analysis of the internal waves in this region.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Time-series measurements (hourly) of temperature at 12 depths, currents and light transmission at three depths for over one year. Recovered mooring from P1-95-NC.
