Lineage Data logger: Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO3200 Communications: Sierra Wireless Raven XT Airlink cellular modem Oceanographic Instruments: Teledyne RD Instruments Workhorse ADCP with NEMO Wave Processing Module. Mounted on the bottom of ocean in 10 meters depth, facing upward. Positioning: Garmin GPS19 sensor. The ADCP collects current ensembles every ten minutes and a waves ensemble once an hour. Once data has been collected by the ADCP, the NEMO unit processes the current and waves data, dividing one hour's worth of data in two distinct datasets and storing them on the buffer of an inductive modem. The datalogger polls the inductive modem for the most recent dataset it has processed. This data is stored as a string in the memory of the logger and incorporated into an output message. The cellular modem transmits the output message when prompted by an externally run batch file. Data is extracted from the file created, passes through QARTOD QA/QC tests, and posts to the CORMP website (www.cormp.org) and is stored in the CORMP database. All data management is conducted by Second Creek Consulting, LLC.
