USGS CMG A-6-03-HW Metadata

Recover, refurbish and re-deploy instrument packages which collect in
situ measurements of currents, waves and suspended sediment in coral reef
environments off Northwest Maui, Hawaii.  Recover previously deployed tripod
mounted camera system, which collects underwater digital imagery of live coral
and sediment suspension and accumulation at a specific time interval.

Current speed and direction, suspended sediment concentration,
salinity, wave height and period.

Maui instrument tripods, mini-probes and wave gauges will be recovered
from location using the vessel Alyce C.  Data from the previous deployment will
be downloaded and the instruments will be refurbished.  Some of the instruments
will be re-deployed at the same locations for further measurements.

Field activities A-4-03-HW and A-6-03-HW are related.

A403HW - Maui, June, 2003 (deployed sediment hydrodynamic tripods, bottom 
mounted ADCPs,
and Dobie wave gauges, AND collected data with a mobile ADCP, CTD profiler and 
GPS drifters).


A603HW - Maui, October, 2003 (retrieved above instruments, re-deployed wave 
gauges).

The instruments recovered in a-6-03-hw were deployed in a-4-03-hw.
There were no moorings- all bottom-mounted instrument packages.
The drifters were just deployed in a-4-03-hw.
