TIME-SERIES PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SEA FLOOR IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS BAY: June - October 1996
Movie Display
The Apple Quicktime movie displays a cropped version of the bottom images
(the data chamber time and
date, as well as the perimeter of the image which was underexposed, are not shown). Along
the bottom of the photographs is additional data collected by sensors mounted on the
bottom tripod. Beam attenuation (show in yellow) is a measure of suspended sediment
concentration and the standard deviation of the bottom pressure (shown in green) is a
measure of the currents caused by surface waves. The arrow on the left is the low-passed
current. This arrow points in the direction of the net flow and the direction of transport
of water and sediment when the tidal currents are averaged out. We have included the
Apple Quicktime movie, an mpeg
movie (the precropped version that has the data chamber time and date and includes
underexposed perimeter), a set of still-frame tif images , a collection of movie player software for a variety of computer
platforms and and an indexed set of thumbnails of the 675 still-frame images linked to full size jpegs.
The resolution of these images does not match the quality of the 35mm film.
