Clam Bed Field 7
Lower panel: horizontal current speed color-coded by direction and vertical velocity (black). All curves have been smoothed with a 10-ensemble running mean.
This instrument did not return valid temperature data. It was deployed near an elevator away from diffuse venting sites to serve as a background current meter. The record mean current at 0.5 m height is 3.0 cm/s directed toward 009°T, with friction velocity u* = 0.44 cm/s (Garcia-Berdeal 2006).
