  • Abstract
    Techniques have been developed whereby it is relatively easy to acquire data on currents in submarine canyons. Savonius rotor current meters, explosive releases, and a free-fall system are utilized. The equipment, its deployment, and general conditions and problems are discussed, along with a brief description of analytical techniques.
