Site notes
The Pass-A-Grille Wireless Waves Site, located at 27° 40.650' N (27.678 N),
82° 46.196' W (82.769 W)
is the first of the COMPS "Near-Shore Wave measurements" sites to be deployed on the
West Florida Shelf along the 6-10 m isobaths. The C21 system consists of Teledyne-RDInstruments
600kHz workhorse ADCP (with waves technology) linked to the home station at the USF College of
Marine Science by a combination of Teledyne-Benthos Telesonar Acoustic Modems and Cellular
modem. Depth at the C21 site is 6 meters. Observations of significant wave height, period, and
direction along with water level are measured every three hours. Current velocity is measured
every 10 minutes. For further details and related questions please contact Rick Cole
(727-553-1522, email: rdc@marine.usf.edu) or Dr. Robert H. Weisberg (727-553-1568,
weisberg@marine.usf.edu).
