Description:"With previous surveys dating to the 1940s and 1970s, Casco Bay (CAB) was identified by internal assessments within CO-OPS as a high-priority current observation project for NCOP utilizing modern acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs). Site locations were proposed based upon meetings with users, NOAA experts, professional mariners, and academia and were finalized based on oceanographic needs and by criteria set forth by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO S-44 ʹ4.5). Furthermore, a hydrodynamic model being developed by NOS (Gulf of Maine Operational Forecast System or GoMOFS) will benefit from this observational data when conducting their hindcast skill assessment. In 2011, a reconnaissance was conducted where proposed sites were visited to gather their physical characteristics, which were used for configuring a station for occupation. During reconnaissance operations, each site was visited using a vessel equipped with: a fathometer to determine the depth of the site; a conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) sensor to determine salinity and density; and a Ponar-style bottom sampler to determine the nature of the seabed at the site (e.g., mud, silt, sand). Based upon the reconnaissance, 25 current measurement stations were identified and, during the summer of 2014, occupied using methods described in section 3. This technical report focuses on the results of these current meter deployments"--Project Description [doi:10.7289/V5/TR-NOS-COOPS-084 (https://doi.org/10.7289/V5/TR-NOS-COOPS-084)]
