Abstract

Current speed and direction measurements were made in the Spring and Autumn 2003 at a distance of 2km off the North Sea coastal town of Noordwijk in the Netherlands. They were carried out as part of the SANDPIT project funded partly by the European Commission's research programme (Contract No. EVK3-2001-00056), and partly through national funding from the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (CSA5995, FD1912). Multiple seabed instrumentation deployments were simultaneously undertaken at four seabed locations at the site within a co-operative deployment exercise between the data collection partners HR Wallingford (HRW, UK), University of Utrecht (UU, Netherlands), University of Caen (UCa, France), and the University of East Anglia (UEA, UK). The well-equipped and efficient facility at the Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) depot at cheveningen harbour supplied all other on-site local logistical resources for the storage, preparation, deployment and servicing of the various complex seabed instrumentation systems.
