24 November 2016 flow event records. a Thirty-five-minute-long record of ADCP-measured velocity and backscatter recorded on mooring MS1 during the 24 November 2016 flow event. b Images of a round BED and the 800-kg tripod frame with BED11 and AMT attached. Also shown is one foot of the tripod frame, exposed above the seafloor after the event. c Changes in depth of 6 BED instruments during the 24 November 2016 flow event for the same time period shown in a. Dotted line connects initial bed movements, which are used to calculate the transit velocity through this depth interval. Gray area in a and c indicates period when all six instruments were moving simultaneously. d Plot of depth and temperature vs. time from the AMT (sampled every 45 min) during the third deployment (Fig. 3). The range of water depth shown in c and d are equivalent. The red oval indicates the time interval shown in c
