For more information about this instrument, including its available Data Products, please see the Seafloor Pressure (PRESF) Instrument Class page.

The Coastal Pioneer Mid-Atlantic Bight Array is now equipped with a new sensor to measure seafloor pressure.  The sensor can record instantaneous pressure measurements, average pressure samples to remove wave action, and burst-sample pressure at up to 16Hz for wave height and period calculations. Wave measurements are made by burst sampling, with programmable sample rate, number of samples, and burst interval. High accuracy marine temperature data are recorded with each measurement.
