Field Activity 2024-028-FA

Identifier 2024-028-FA
Alternate names CACO Waves
Purpose To deploy a nanopod within view but offshore of the Marconi Camera site. Data collected will help validate the total water level model.
Location Marconi Beach, MA
Summary Arrived onsite @ 16:21 UTC. Three sediment grab samples collected. Nanopod deployed and on bottom @ 17:21 UTC. Measured bearing to camera.
Info derived waves, currents, grain size, water levels, conductivity, temperature
Comments Deployment delayed from original schedule (12/3-4) due to ship scheduling backlog due to bad weather in November.
