VANC16MV Backscatter:Optical, CurrentMeasurement, Pressure, Velocity:Doppler
MARGINS:Funded
Current measurements, pressure and optical backscatter data from the PNG MARGINS Focus Site collected during Melville cruises VANC13MV, VANC14MV, VANC15MV, and VANC16MV (2003, investigator Andrea Ogston)
This data set was collected with instruments on seafloor-mounted Benthic Boundary Layer (BBL) tripods. The files are in MATLAB format and were generated as part of projects called Processes Controlling Depositional Signals of Environmental Change in the Fly River Sediment Dispersal System: Mechanisms and Rates of Shelf Clinoform Development; and, Dispersion, Cycling and Burial of Organic Carbon in a River-Dominated Margin: The Fly River/Gulf of Papua Shelf. Funding was provided by NSF awards OCE02-03351 and OCE02-20600.
