Field-Work Report Medway Estuary, 28 June - 18 July 1983

摘要

Two tide gauges were deployed on the 28th June at Sheerness for testing against the standard tide gauge installed there. The two tide gauges were taken out and re-deployed elsewhere in the Medway Estuary on the 1st July, and were finally recovered on the 18th July. Three days of monitoring were also undertaken (4th, 11th, 12th July): a high-speed axial profile (4th July), monitoring of dye and fixed-point monitoring of water parameters (4th and 11th July), monitoring of wind (11th July), a further high-speed profile (12th July). The field-work was undertaken to test equipment and procedures in the field, to test the capabilities of a loaned inflatable craft, to obtain information to improve the project's computer modelling technique, and to gain information for validation of a 1-d transient estuary model.
