Monterey Bay Ocean Bottom International Science Experiment (MOISE)
The SP/S4 Current Meter and CTD:
To address the question of tidal effects a CTD/pressure gauge with an onboard datalogger has been deployed. This instrument is on loan from Curt Collins; MBARI has constructed a support frame and anchor for the system. An S4 current meter is deployed on a short mooring to measure local tidal current directions and velocities. The tidal effects are anticipated to be the most profound marine noise present in the seismometer record. The CTD/pressure gauge, magnetometer and current meter are all stand-alone instruments. These were deployed and then placed in position by the ROV on a single dive.
