Winter 1993 Observations of Oceanography and Sediment Transport at the LEO-15Site

摘要

The NOAA National Underseas Research Program at Rutgers University isestablishing a Long-term Ecosystem Observatory off New Jersey in 15 meters of water. As part of a bottom boundary layer study at this site, WHOA deployed a bottom instrument frame during the winter of 1993-94. The bottom instrument carried a current meter, a vertical array of optical backscattering sensors, temperature, pressure and conductivity sensors and an Acoustical Backscattering Sensor. The optical instrumentation was calibrated with sediment from the site, and the results from the experiment presented. (AN).
