This is an attempt to build a cheap DYI current meter and establish more or less regular mesurements of current at Mukilteo T-Dock
Timeline | Description | Status |
---|---|---|
Short term | Build cheap <$100 underwater current meter | Done |
Short term | Be able to distinguish between 3-4 grades of current (no current, barely noticeable current, moderate, heavyy/not-safe) | In progress |
Short term | Add ability for divers to note their current observation at the geodome so meter can be "crowdcalibrated" | To Do |
Mid term | (Adjacent project) Create accurate in scale map of Mukilteo T-Dock dive site suitable for measuring distances and azimuths between main features | In progress |
Medium term | Calibrate meter to measure current in knots | To Do |
Medium term | Perform regression over collected data and try to build a model that would more or less accurately predict current based on nearest NOAA tide/current station predictions | To Do |
Long term | Enhance meter to allow real-time collection of data from underwater. | To Do |
