An instrument system for long-term sediment transport studies on the continental shelf
Bradford Butman, David W. Folger
1978, Open-File Report 78-1019
A bottom-mounted instrument system has been designed and built to monitor processes of bottom-sediment movement on the Continental Shelf. The system measures bottom current speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and light transmission, and photographs the bottom. The instrument operates in a burst sample mode. The system can be deployed for...
