Field Performance of NBIS Smart ACḾs with EG&G Sea Link VMCḾs

In three separate deployments from Fall 1984 through Spring 1985 the Neil Brown Instrument Systems' (NBIS) Smart Acoustic Current Meters (SACM) were deployed. In the first deployment, part of NOAA's Delaware Bay Experiment, less than a month of data was returned of approximately eight current meter months of deployment. Hardware problems accounted for most of this poor data return.
