F-5-09-SF map of where navigation equipment operated

Information Specialist
Joanne Ferreira
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
Same experimental design as F-1-09-SF. Collaboration with UC Berkeley.
Retriever (for deployment and retrieval), Frontier (for surveying and sampling).
Got Help? For F-5-09-SF, we would appreciate any information on -- activity type, analog materials, contract, crew, days at sea, dive count, equipment used, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
