Monitoring of Waves and Currents Near the Alabama Dredged Materials Mounds

Abstract

Wave, tide, and current data were collected at sites around two underwater mounds constructed from dredged material. Data were collected in support of a study to document the response of the mounds and assess any potential beneficial effects. A real-time monitoring system was developed, built, and installed. System design and performance are described. Results are presented and discussed. Summaries of data collected are continued in appendices. Currents, Mounds, Disposal, Waves, Dredge.
