The core physical oceanographic observations were acquired with an AML CTD.

January 6th

CTD Acquisition:
On the rising tide
Acoustics (MB WCD and ADCP):

Notes:
  • Various tests of ADCP bin size to start with.
  • Alsas settled on 05m for th resot of the day.
  • EM2040P setup only completed half way through so no data for ADCP lines 114-123.
  • Significant swell at harbour mouth - verty apparent the ADCP does no heave scorrection.
  • 2040P orientation only coming in at 1Hz so poor bathy.
