| Objectives | 1. To test the new Minipod frame and logger system over 2 tides and to evaluate the results.
2. To compare the bed shear stresses, both tidally and wave generated on two sites (Race Bank typically 10-12 water depth) and another site to the East with water depth of 20 m). The ADCP (Acoustic Doppler current Profiler) and CTD will be used to supplement measurements from a Minipod. 3. To undertake a sediment survey around the proposed site of the long term deployment of a Minipod on Race Bank. 4. To conduct a sidescan survey around the proposed long term deployment site. 5. To deploy a Minipod and Guard Buoys on the long term site for recovery on CIRO 4/94. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
