There are four broadband hydrophones on the Cabled Array – at the Oregon Shelf and Offshore sites where they are cabled to the Benthic Experiment Packages, and two are located on the Platform Interface Assemblies on the Shallow Profiler Moorings
Benthic flow meters measure the velocity of seawater flowing into the seafloor and methane-rich fluids issuing from sediments at methane seep sites at Southern Hydrate Ridge.
A CTD is an instrument used to determine how conductivity (C) and temperature (T) measurements in the ocean vary relative to depth (D) and is a primary tool for measuring physical properties of the ocean. Salinity is determined from electr
Optical backscatter sensors measure the amount of suspended material in the water column, including live phytoplankton, microscopic animals, and detrital (non-living) particles. In coastal regions, suspended inorganic material, such as clays and
The goal of this installation is to obtain the highest resolution views possible of black smoker fluids and coupled biologial activity on this hy
The curent meter (tripod with red legs) measures local currents and temperature. When deployed in conjunction with a nearby broadband seismomtete
