VIMS Observing System - Conditions at Goodwin Islands

These data are collected from a bottom mounted, upward looking Nortek Acoustic Wave and Current Meter (AWAC) in approximately 10m water depth north of Goodwin Islands, near the York River mouth, VA. Data are transmitted via underwater acoustic modem to a surface buoy and a radio link back to VIMS completes the telemetry. [ Location Map | Deployment ]
