ERDC/CHL CETN-IV-24
March 2000
SUMMARY: Considerable data-collection equipment and types of instruments are available to
measure the numerous parameters that may exist at a coastal inlet project. Upon completion of a
field reconnaissance, the data requirements, level of effort, and instrument locations can be
determined. The appropriate instrument can be chosen based on the performance requirements
for the site, accuracy needs of the study, servicing requirements for the deployment, and
budgeting restrictions associated with the total project.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For further information, contact Mr. Thad C. Pratt (Voice:
