Series of nearshore and intertidal cruises during Spring 2014 and continuing in 2015. R/V Gaia is a University of San Diego vessel (a 7 m Parker, with outboard motor).
Description of deployment events:
18 April 2014: deployed subsurface temperature mooring in 8m; deployed ADCP with temperature logger and Seaguage in 8m. Deployed two temperature loggers in intertidal under rocks with settlement plates.
21 April 2014: deployed temperature telemetry mooring in 8m.
23 April 2014: deployed 12 settlement plates in intertidal (checked daily).
1 May: deployed temperature loggers in 0.5m and 1m within intertidal.
2 May: deployed bottom frame in 4m with Nortek, temperature logger, and Seaguage.
