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.
