REMUS AUV Jennifer Patterson HIOOS Workshop June 23, 2009
- Monthly missions: monitor South Shore water quality focusing on the Ala Wai Canal outflow plume - Event-focused missions: survey during significant rainfall events - Salinity, Temperature, Backscatter, Chlorophyll, Current Velocity, Side scan vs latitude, longitude and depth - Data products are available via the Kilo Nalu website (‘AUV surveys’) South Shore Water Quality Monitoring
Baseline Ala Wai Canal Survey ONR funded surveys Test Survey Ala Wai Research Group – Grieg Steward 24hr sampling Salinity, Temperature, Backscatter, Chlorophyll
Event Surveys - Alert System Program runs every hour, checks latest data from: - Rain gages - Stream flow gages - Salinity + Temperature at NS01 and NS02. Sends out warning message via or text Useful tool for us and for stakeholders (AWRG, Sea Engineering)
Mission Description Ancillary data plots: USGS Manoa Rain Gage USGS Manoa Stream Gage NOAA Honolulu Harbor Water Level, Wind REMUS Salinity Temperature Backscatter Chlorophyll
Mission Summary Ancillary Data Include ancillary data from other groups like Kilo Nalu and HIOOS water quality buoys Developed with input from principle stakeholders: Ala Wai Research Group, Sea Engineering Inc., City and County Environmental Services
CTD and WetLabs BB2F Layer and profile plots : Salinity, Temperature, Backscatter, Chlorophyll TS profile plots
ADCP Overlay current vectors on layer plots Profiles Surface currents HF radar validation/ spatial context Potential to use current data for HF radar spatial comparison / Use applicable parameters for near-shore model validation
Continue monthly surveys Up to 3 event based surveys Coordinate / integrate feedback from stakeholders (C&C, Sea Engineering, AWRG) Explore new user applications (side scan, water quality)
