Historic Bottom Pressure Recorder (BPR) Data

Entry ID: gov.noaa.ngdc.G10029

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: During 1982-1985, PMEL engaged in the development of a reliabel deep-ocean Bottom Pressure Recorder (BPR) to collect high-quality deep-water data during a tsunami. In 1986, NOAA initiated a long-term field program in the northeast Pacific and the program was expanded in 1987 to include shallow-water BPR sites maintained and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers along the United ...

Purpose: Provide historic pressure and temperature data

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The Bottom Pressure Recorder dataset consists of over 70 BPR's deployed in: a triangular array in close proximity to the Shumigan Seismic Gap; near the landward slope of the Aleutian Trench, off the United States Pacific Northwest coast, and off the coast of Hawaii.
