U.S. Geological Survey Oceanographic Time-Series Data Collection

Cape Hatteras- Nearshore

Description: This experiment was conducted in February 2010 in the nearshore regions adjacent to Cape Hatteras, NC. These observations were acquired from the east and west sides of the shoal in water depths of 2-30 meters. Fourteen platforms (pole-mounted sensors and tripods) were deployed to collect physical measurements. The nearshore observations from 2010 complement ocean circulation and sediment transport measurements made at Diamond Shoals, NC in 2009. More information about this project may be found at the project's page. Open File Report 2012-1219 describes the experiment setup, deployment, and data processing. Graphs of the data collected are part of the report.
