Mooring Numbers

Skip past contents information

Every mooring (surface, subsurface, or bottom tripod platform) deployed by the Sediment Transport Group at the USGS Woods Hole Science Center is assigned a three-digit mooring number that is used to identify all information about the mooring and the time-series data collect by the instruments on it. The mooring numbers are assigned in anticipated order of mooring deployment in the field and are roughly sequential, although logistics may alter the mooring deployment sequence. A mooring log, in Excel format, summarizes mooring deployments and recoveries. The entries in the mooring log include USGS mooring number, date deployed, date recovered, instrument serial numbers, calibration constants, and other documentation of each mooring and the instrumentation on it. A subset of the electronic mooring log (table 7, Excel format) is included in this report for moorings deployed at LT-A and LT-B. At the beginning of the measurement program at LT-A, the surface and subsurface moorings were assigned one mooring number. Beginning in October 1996, surface and subsurface moorings were assigned separate mooring numbers. Each bottom tripod was assigned a separate mooring number.
