Chief Scientist: Dave Cacchione. Geoprobe Deployment data (Geoprobe, MarshMcBirney, temperature, pressuresensor, opticalbackscattersensor, transmissometer, altimeter, ADP, sidescansonar, CTDmeter) of field activity L-1-97-SF in San Francisco Bay, CA from 12/06/1997 to 12/06/1997
Location
CA
Summary
The tripod was deployed on the bay floor for 11 days, measuring water currents and other oceanographic parameters and recording thousands of rotating sidescan images to track the movement of underwater sand dunes. The project is part of a larger study designed to reveal how sediment and pollutants move through San Francisco Bay.
