Collect wave data to calibrate SWAN refraction model, Collection of surface sediment grab samples for ground-truthing of multi-beam bathymetry and calibration of OBS
Description
Chief Scientist: Guy Gelfenbaum. Tripod Deployment and Recovery data (opticalbackscattersensor, ADV, ADP, pressuresensor, tidemeter, VanVeengrab, CTDmeter, GPS, tripod) of field activity T-1-99-WO in Grays Harbor, Washington from 10/01/1999 to 12/29/1999
Location
Washington
Summary
Deployed tripods off coast of SW WA. Collected wave, current and suspended sediment information. Grab samples taken for ground-truthing and OBS calibration. Collection of CTD profiles
Info derived
Grain Size; Currents; Depth from instruments to seafloor; Suspended sediment concentration; Wave height, period and direction; Salinity, temperature and density of water column
