Evaluation of New Fluid Mud Survey System at Field Sites

Abstract

This technical note presents an intermediate evaluation of a fluid mud survey system with respect to operability, practicability, and repeatability based on field tests conducted at Calcasieu River, Louisiana) Sabine River, Texas; and Gulfport Harbor, Mississippi, entrance channels from 1989 to 1991. Also included are the conceptual and mechanical design of the towed sled and a description of the fluid mud survey system components.
