Instrument Tripod
This tripod is loaded with sensors to measure the details of currents, waves, water properties, and sediment amount and type close to the seafloor. It logs data for 3-4 months, then is pulled back up and refurbished. The UW team has deployed these continuously since November 2011.Photo Credit: Emily Eidam / UW
