DESCRIPTION

The project required currents profiles and waves measurements in various locations. The currents were measured along the water column with submerged current meters in two modes: the first in the form of submerged arrangement, and the second in the form of anti-trace bases placed on the seabed.
For waves measurements, a moored metocean 3-meter surface buoy was used. This buoy included a satellite telemetry system for real time data transmission.

SCOPE OF WORK

Physical Oceanography Measurements

Currents Profiles, Directional Waves, Tides, Temperature, Salinity and Turbidity.

Meteorological Measurements

Wind, Temperature, Pressure and Relative Humidity.

Studies

Processing, Analysis, Characterization of Currents Regime, Wind and Waves, Thermal and Haline Spatial variation.

Equipment
AXYS 3-Meter and Watchmaster oceanographic buoys with Inmarsat satellite telemetry. Nortek Continental 190 kHz long range ADCP stations installed in subsurface arrays and trawl resistant bottom moorings with acoustic release systems.
