Information Specialist
|
|
|
Purpose
|
Investigate mechanisms of transport of sediment from shoals to channel, and
resuspension response of cohesive sediments to wind waves.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Current speed and direction, tidal stage, wave properties, suspended sediment
concentration, salinity, bed sediment grain size.
|
|
|
Summary
|
Moorings to collect time-series data, and shipboard surveying and sampling
during the deployment to further characterize spatial variability in currents,
to collect calibration samples for optical measurements of suspended sediment
concentration, and to sample bed sediment grain size.
|
|
|
Notes
|
Collaboration with UC Berkeley.
Platform used: Retriever (for deployment and retrieval), Frontier (for surveying
and sampling).
