Taking notes

The two radars flew early this morning imaging Terrebonne West with the ADCP and LSU field teams in the Fourleague Bay area, sites 322 and 399.

The LSU Island team measured flow velocity at site 399 at 10 AM and 3:30 PM. There was very little water over the marsh. South Southwest winds were too high for the airboat to safely get to site 322.

Bill Gibson took the 10 planned ADCP transects around site 322 then sites 399.
