Description
Two 2-week deployments at the Billia Croo (BC) wave site were carried out (typically 3–5 m wave height). The first in a tidally influenced area with up to 3.5 m/s spring tides. The second was at a non-tidally influenced area of the wave site with up to 1.5 m/s spring tides.
The FLOWBEC device was deployed at the tidally influenced site from 10 Jul – 24th Jul 2013 and at the non-tidally influenced site from 27 Jul – 12 Aug 2013.
A SonTek/YSI ADVOcean 5 MHz Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) provides near-bed flow and turbulence data to support the analysis of predator and prey behaviour, and inform collision risk.
Frequency of Collection
Continuous over each fourteen day deployment (3 deployments) which covered the full spring-neap cycle.
