Current meters such as an Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) and an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV), a CT-sensor capable of measuring temperature and salinity, optical (OBS) and acoustic backscatter sensors (ADP and ADV) to measure suspended sediment concentration, a LISST 100 suspended particle sizer, a passive Cetacean monitoring device (C-PoD) and a passive sampling device for chemical monitoring have ever since been moored for more than 1750 days. From autumn 2009 a permanent coastal observatory has been installed at MOW1, located to the west of the entrance to the Zeebrugge harbor. Other mooring sites include more offshore locations, such as the Kwintebank, Gootebank, MOWO and the offshore windmill farms and a very nearshore location (Blankenberge). 51.75 ^=3 Ô O 51.65 horntopban 51.55 ^ Gootebank 51.45 MOWO MOW 51.35 Zeebrugge enberge 51.25 Ostend • 1 Mooring 35 Moorings 51.15 Moorings Depth (m) 46 38 30 22 14 '-2 Year # Moorings # Days 2004 3 38 2005 4 45 2006 6 165 2007 2 45 2008 5 151 2009 10 369 2010 9 322 2011 10 334 2012 8 297 Total: 57 moorings 1766 days J Data Processing E 15 Ile?

This processing includes the transformation from a binary file to a readable ASCII format and is done by proprietary software. The subsequent step consists of the actual processing of the data, the quality control to identify instrument failure or biofouling and calculation of derivative parameters (such as bottom shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy and settling velocity) using MatLab scripts. 3 - 03-2011 28- 03-2011 02- 04-2011 07- 04-2011 12- 04-2011 17- 04-2011 22- 04-2011 Temp cc 10 123 - 03-2011 28- 03-2011 02- 04-2011 07- 04-2011 12- 04-2011 17- 04-2011 22- 04-2011 Sal — 32 ~r ~r _ a M^/ vwv A aaa ^ a ^ ~ r T T _l_ _l_ _l_ _l_ _l_ m CL 5 , 30 c "CC m 28 23- 03-2011 28- 03-2011 02- 04-2011 07- 04-2011 12- 04-2011 17- 04-2011 22- 04-2011 ST Current 0 0 B-03-2011 28-03-2011 02-04-2011 07-04-2011 12-04-2011 17-04-2011 22-04-2011 SPM 1 1 iW yb iilw JdyJwwAm «L íÍm L j j¡ II 23- 03-2011 28- 03-2011 02- 04-2011 07- 04-2011 12- 04-2011 17- 04-2011 22- 04-2011 f/ear Month Day Hour Min Sec JDay 0BS1 0BS2 SPM1 SPM2 Press Sal Temp u v w U Dir Alt Roll Pitch Ampl Amp2 Amp3 Corl Cor2 Cor3 TKE' m _______ ____ 2008 11 17 13 50 1 322.5764005 6478.36 6028.8 230.8731753 280.4066095 18.65 32.6313 10.3005 -0.2584 0.1971 -0.3823 0.3249907229 5.364013487 17.79 -49 -0.2 217 215 220 I.697377495 0.3686061598 2008 11 17 14 0 1 322.5833449 5296.04 4022.76 170.9906796 184.8202047 19.09 32.6094 10.2995 -0.3243 0.2071 -0.414 0.3847868241 5.280712775 20.7 -44.3 -0.2 224 223 227 5.711056811 25.02402731 2008 11 17 14 10 1 322.5902894 5294.88 3933.24 170.9319275 180.5546393 19.38 32.5802 10.3058 -0.3532 0.2047 -0.4004 0.4082307313 5.237642214 18.33 -38 -0.2 224 221 22< II.9459675 115.6438671 2008 11 17 14 20 1 322.5972338 4974.88 3728.8 154.7244722 170.8132161 19.63 32.5078 10.2987 -0.376 0.1758 -0.4664 0.4150682354 5.149743879 18.74 -41.8 -0.3 230 228 23: 10.17406889 67.1944537 2008 11 17 14 30 1 322.6041782 5042.48 3985.32 158.1482971 183.0362149 19.72 32.4778 10.2957 -0.3685 0.1436 -0.4559 0.3954910998 5.08397415 18.34 -41.8 -0.2 235 233 2' 8.758409179 37.81119356 2008 11 17 14 40 1 322.6111227 5116.2 3971.04 161.8820896 182.3557829 19.85 32.3766 10.2856 -0.3744 0.1612 -0.3426 0.407628262 5.118955807 18.39 -27.5 -0.2 236 235 23! 18.31913059 158.0253124 2008 11 17 14 50 1 322.6180671 6054.76 4669.24 209.4185562 215.6245252 19.91 32.3198 10.2788 -0.3782 0.1937 -0.5154 0.4249175567 5.185719478 20.63 -45 -0.2 226 225 22! 6.66139545 22.86807803 2008 11 17 15 0 1 322.6250116 6287.28 5025.72 221.1952985 232.6105482 20.03 32.2689 10.268 -0.3075 0.1528 -0.428 0.34337165 5.173561992 18.65 -45.5 -0.2 225 223 227 9Í 4.38426806 25.35158842 2008 11 17 15 10 1 322.631956 6232.96 4824.92 218.4440829 223.0425684 20.1 32.2362 10.2625 -0.2396 0.1393 -0.3542 0.2771509516 5.239008998 18.04 -50 -0.3 222 219 224 ! 1.800724521 0.2179982044 2008 11 17 15 20 1 322.6389005 6856.44 5500.56 250.0222838 255.2363425 20 32.2458 10.2607 -0.3 0.1162 -0.3815 0.321717951 5.081928353 18.29 -42 -0.3 223 220 226 97 97 ~ta OCOH411 ASCII datasets will be made available through the BMDC website: http://www.mumm.ac.be/datacentre/ Conclusion The data collected have increased our understanding of sediment dynamics in response to tidal and wind-driven flow and this during both good and bad weather conditions and from short (turbulence) to long-term scales (seasonal variations).
