Abstract
A new type of tripod, INSSECT (IN situ Size and SEttling Column Tripod), designed for floc measurements in the shallow parts of the continental shelf, is described. INSSECT orientates itself into the current so that instrumentation on it faces upstream, thereby minimizing flow disturbance. The instrumentation includes a digital floc camera, a video settling column, a unique sediment trap designed for capturing flocs intact, a laser sizer, an optical backscatterance sensor, a compass and tilt meter, and a current meter. It is designed for relatively short deployments of up to 2 weeks and can be recovered, turned around, and redeployed rapidly. It was designed for use in semi‐synoptic surveys of the spatial variation in floc properties such as size and settling velocity and the factors that influence them. The paper describes the various components of the INSSECT and presents selected results from the first deployments, demonstrating its ability to turn in the current and capture single flocs intact. Contrary to recent findings on the influence on settling columns on floc size, intercomparison between the video settling column and the digital floc camera reveals that the sizes are similar.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
