BASS Measurements of Bottom Currents and Stress in the North Sea
Abstract
Two deployments of a Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor (BASS) tripod were successfully made off Scheveningen, The Netherlands, in support of the NATO mine burial exercise. The spring systems test was a deployment from 1 May 1997 to 12 May 1997. The November deployment lasted from 11 November 1997 to 1 December 1997. The BASS tripod measured current, turbulence, waves and stress at three heights above bottom, temperature at seven heights, optical backscatter at five heights, and conductivity and pressure at one height above bottom.
