T-Pier Station (BM1)
The dry end of this station is mounted on the T-Pier and the wet-end instruments are mounted on two sides of a plate that can be raised and lowered for maintenance.
Back-Bay Station (BS1)
This station includes a large tripod to stabilize the bay-floor installation. The dry end components are mounted on the center pole of the tripod. The wet-end instruments are mounted on two sides of a plate that can be raised and lowered for maintenance.
Weather Station at BS1
The weather station is mounted on a pole at the top of the BS1 center pole.  A control box is mounted beneath the BS1 battery box.
Los Osos & Chorro Creeks Station (CM1)
Floating Configuration
In the floating configuration the plate-mounted instruments slide on two poles that were driven into the mud. The floats are air-filled PVC pipes mounted on either side of the instrument plate. The current meter is mounted separately upstream from the box.
Los Osos & Chorro Creeks Station (CM1)
Original Installation
The dry end of this station is mounted on a pole that was driven into the mud on the bank of the creek. A deck was built around the pole to facilitate access for maintenance. For both creek stations, the wet-end instruments are mounted on the under-side of a plate that sits in the top of a protective flow-through box. The weighted box sits in the creek bed. The current meter is mounted separately upstream from the box.
Chorro Creek Station (CM2)
The dry end of this station is mounted on a pole that was driven into the mud on the bank of the creek. Wet-end instruments are deployed as described above.
