Deployment of a Diver-Operated 3D Particle Tracking Imaging System
ORAL
Abstract
A SCUBA-diver operated imaging system to measure the 3D flow around organisms in their natural environment was developed and deployed. The suspended particulate surrounding the organism is tracked to investigate the animal-fluid interactions, allowing the study of organisms and biological processes in the water column. An ocean deployment and the measured flow fields around a gelatinous zooplankton will be presented.
