Sandy Brosnahan transporting a weather buoy into the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center’s operational facility to continue the process of getting it ready to deploy. This buoy was one of 6, deployed by John Warner and others, to measure wind speed, direction, pressure, and temperature off the coast of Fire Island, NY. Paired with each weather b

This ADCP sends an acoustic pulse into the water to measure the speed of the water, the depth of the river and to measure how far it's moved across the river. With this information, it can compute discharge.

This is the cross section where the measurement was made and the line we strung across the river, marked with flagging for visibility. In slow velocities, the line helps control the speed of the boat as it is moved across the channel.

A manned boat is used to ferry the ADCP back and forth across the river. The velocities at this section were quite slow, and the line across the river allowed better control than driving the small boat.
