Field Activity K407PS

Identifier K407PS
Alternate names K-4-07-PS,AZZB2
Purpose Characterize tidal currents and wave energy over the course of a winter season near Possession Pt, on the west side of Possession Sound, and Browns Bay, on the east side of Possession Sound. This work is part of a larger study comparing physical and biological attributes of the nearshore region at the two sites.
