Summary	A scanned laser bedform imaging system and high resolution velocity profiler developed at NPS will be deployed with collaborators instrumentation at a cabled ocean observatory in Hawaii to measure benthic turbulent fluxes over both sandy and coral beds. This program dovetails with two ONR programs occurring in 2006 - the ripples DRI and the AESOPE DRI both in Monterey Bay, that will in combination enhance our ability to model near bed stresses, sediment entrainment and internal tidal processes. Improved parameterizations for these poorly modeled processes and needed improve operational high resolution regional ocean models.
