GNSS locations of lakebed images collected near Dollar Point, Lake Tahoe, CA, March 10 and 11, 2021

This text file (2021-607-FA_Image_Locations.txt) provides the GNSS antenna location for underwater images collected near Dollar Point, Lake Tahoe, CA, using a recently developed towed-surface vehicle with multiple downward-looking underwater cameras. The GNSS antenna location for the time of each image capture is presented with greater precision than is stored in the individual image’s EXIF header due to decimal place limitations of the EXIF format.

Grain-size data from samples collected in 2009 at three bluff locations in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska

Grain-size data, including grain size, cumulative frequency, and median, was determined from samples collected at three bluff locations in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The different locations (termed W1, W2, and W3) represent three different slope-failure modes. Sediment grab samples for most bluff locations were collected in August 2009, while sediment samples from the bluff at site W3 and multiple foreshore locations were collected in September and October of 2009. Two of the grab samples were ...

Grain-size distribution from foreshore and beach samples collected in 2009 in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska

Sediment grab samples were collected at 158 locations on the foreshore and beach in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska, in October of 2009. Two of the grab samples were sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions. The grain-size distribution of the remaining samples was determined from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab following the method of Barnard and others (2007) using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images (Buscombe and others, 2010). Results of ...

Water depth time-series data collected in 2009 offshore of Wainwright, Alaska

A time-series of varying water depths were collected offshore of Wainwright, Alaska, from August 23 to October 02, 2009 (UTC). Measurements were collected with a built-in pressure transducer from a 1 MHz NortekTM AWAC acoustic Doppler current profiler mounted on a frame in approximately 10 m of water. The instrument was mounted to the frame at 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor. Reported depth values include the 0.55 m offset, and thus are depths relative to the seabed. These data are available in a ...

Wave time-series data collected in 2009 offshore of Wainwright, Alaska

Time series wave data were collected offshore of Wainwright, Alaska, from August 24 to October 02, 2009 (UTC). Measurements were collected using a 1 MHz NortekTM AWAC acoustic Doppler current profiler mounted on a frame in approximately 10 m of water. The instrument was mounted to the frame at 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor, and collected data in 8.53-minute bursts at 2 Hz. Significant wave heights (Hs), maximum significant wave heights (Hmax), peak and mean wave periods (Tp and Tm, respectively), ...
