Field Activity 2025-010-FA

Identifier 2025-010-FA
Alternate names CACO Waves
Purpose Recover a nanopod within view but offshore of the Marconi Camera site. Data collected will help validate the total water level model.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location Marconi Beach, MA
Summary The nanopod was successfully recovered on 3/10/2025 via pop-up release. No scuba recovery was necessary. All instruments were clean and free of biofouling. All data were downloaded from the instruments using the manufacturer's software.
Info derived waves, currents, grain size, water levels, conductivity, temperature
Comments Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2024-028-FA. Only 1 or 2 days needed for this activity but will need a broad window (10days) to find suitable sea-state conditions and ship availability for this work. Scuba divers will be onboard as a back-up recovery option to be used only if primary method (pop-up release) is not successful.
