Set up Vectrino on tripod with person holding the instrument in surge channel. Instrument was cabled to computer for data recording.
Monday July 22 2024
Took rowboat across inlet and hiked to Brady’s beach witih Kindall, Chris, Emily, Matt ~2:30 pm, high tide.
Set up vectrino in a surge channel above bed of mussels.
Recorded first set in channel between two of Kindall’s sites.
Recording at 1 cm above the mussels, File name: Brady1.vno
1 cm above mussels: Brady1.vno
5 cm above mussels: Brady2.vno
10 cm above mussels: Brady3.vno
Moved instrument up the surge channel to a more protected site. About 10 m up the surge channel, roughly 10 cm up in elevation.
1 cm above mussels: Brady4.vno
5 cm above the mussels in the upper surge channel: Brady5.vno
Moved instrument to directly next to oxygen sensors at Brady Beach:
1 cm above mussels: Brady6.vno
Moved instrument next to tilt sensor at Brady Beach:
1 cm above mussels: Brady7.vno
