The NOAA National Underseas Research Program at Rutgers University is establishing a Long-term EcosystemObservatory off New Jersey in 15 meters of water. As part of a bottom boundary layer study at this site, WHOI deployed a bottominstrument frame during the winter of 1993-94. The bottom instrument carried a current meter, a vertical array of opticalback scattering sensors, temperature, pressure and conductivity sensors and an Acoustical Backscattering Sensor. The deploymentwas partially successful as the acoustic system failed. The other instrumentation worked well for 3 weeks returning data on winterconditions at the site. The extreme winter waves ended the experiment by tipping the instrument over on its side. The opticalinstrumentation was calibrated with sediment from the site, and the results from the experiment presented.
