* Note that the acoustic-radio current meter data transmission system
is not operational at this time. If there is interest in using it,
please contact us for details on the lead time to get it going.
In addition to the above, we also have various subsurface floatation
packages, guard buoys, surface drifters, etc. In addition, we have access
to some other instruments, various data logging systems for nearshore wave
and sediment dynamics and a self contained suspended sediment profiler
(RASTRAN). Our field staff are also available to support deployments of
a variety of ocean instruments. Please contact
