Weekly Plots of Node B CTD Data Weekly Plots of Node B CTD Data

The LEO-15 Nodes are the center of our underwater research and are
located 3 (Node A) and 4.5 (Node B) miles off the New Jersey coast
near Tuckerton. The nodes record data on water temperatures, salinity,
clarity, wave height, current speeds etc.

Analysis is available online.

Surface waves at LEO-15 are measured with a bottom-mounted pressure
sensor, not a surface buoy. By the time they reach the seafloor,
shorter period waves have been attenuated more than longer period
waves. Waves with periods below about 4.5 seconds are rarely
observable with the LEO-15 bottom-mounted pressure sensor. Surface
buoy observations include waves with periods below 4.5 seconds, so
they report higher significant wave heights than the LEO-15 pressure
sensor.
