Collect in situ measurements of currents, waves and suspended sediment in coral reef environments using tripod mounted instrument packages to assist in determining physical constraints on coral distribution.
Description
United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientist: Mike Field. Geological data (tripod, ADP, opticalbackscattersensor, wavepressure, ADV, CTmeter) of field activity A-4-02-HW in Maui, Hawaii from 11/13/2002 to 11/19/2002
Location
Hawaii
Summary
Maui instrument tripod and mini-probe will be recovered from location using the vessel Alyce C. Data from the previous deployment will be downloaded and the instruments will be refurbished at the Maui Ocean Center. The instruments will be redeployed at the same locations for further measurements.
Info derived
Current speed and direction, suspended sediment concentration, salinity, wave height and period.
