Abstract
Two Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor (BASS) equipped tripods were deployed in the Sediment Transport Events on Shelves
and Slopes (STRESS) experiment in November, 1988, and recovered in March, 1989, on the California Shelf. They measured
velocity profiles in the bottom boundary layer over the lowest 5 meters. Transmissometers, thermistors, and a pressure sensor on
each tripod provided suspended sediment concentration, stratification, and wave spectral information, as well.
