offers high frequency sampling for 14 hours (slightly more than a tidal period) once each week
for about 6 months. The coverage is less complete, but a very high sampling rate is possible and
only one turn-around cruise is necessary. This reduces costs and may have other benefits. For
example, it may be easier to schedule the deployment, turn-around, and recovery cruises around
winter storms with a 6 month window.
