In conjunction with the University of South Carolina, Clemson, and Georgia Tech, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (under supervision of Dr. Harvey Seim) recently deployed one in a set of four moorings to observe the directional wave field. The instruments were placed across the shelf in South Carolina, not far from Myrtle Beach. Each mooring had an acoustic current profiler with a pressure sensor, to produce time series velocity and wave data throughout the depth array. Two of the moorings also included a conductivity, temperature and pressure sensor (Sea-Bird MicroCat).   In the process of retrieving the instruments, we tried to document the experience with a digital camera.
