How It Works

Puget Sound mooring configured for 2-way communication and real-time data transfer (telemetry)

Near-bottom (fixed) instruments (conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen)

Located in nearshore waters (5-15 m depth)

Attached to piers/pilings

Transmit data every 15 minutes via broad spectrum radio to shore-based PC for upload to NANOOS pilot website
