Table 3. Set of deployments of artificial sand and oil agglomerates (aSOAs) in 1.5 meters of water. Data from these deployments may be found on the Data Catalog page. Times are given in local time (eastern standard time (EST)) as measured by the clock on the Along-Track Reef Imaging System (ATRIS). Deployments were five minutes long to give sufficient time to observe aSOA dynamics and response to hydrodynamic conditions while limiting the likelihood of a significant change in those conditions over the course of the field experiment.
