| Purpose | Investigate temporal variability in sediment resuspension and salinities in San Pablo Bay during drought conditions. | ||||||||
| Location | San Pablo Bay in northern San Francisco Bay, CA, USA | ||||||||
| Summary | Deployment and recovery of 3 tripods and 1 mooring. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Time series of magnitude and direction of sediment flux in San Pablo Bay shallows Also tides, currents, waves, and salinity in Bay shallows. | ||||||||
| Comments | 3 days for deployment, 3 for recovery (in September). Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2014-613-FA | ||||||||

| Water pressure/depth, velocity, and turbidity time-series data from SPB14 Bay shallows stations in San Pablo Bay and China Camp Marsh, California | Moorings - Tripods | Files contain hydrodynamic and sediment transport data for the location and deployment indicated. Time-series data of water depth, velocity, turbidity, and temperature were collected in San Pablo Bay and China Camp Marsh as part of the San Francisco Bay Marsh Sediment Experiments. Several instruments were deployed in tidal creek, marsh, mudflat, and Bay locations, gathering data on water depth, velocity, salinity/temperature, and turbidity. Deployment data are grouped by region (Bay channel (main Bay), Bay shallows, tidal creek, or marsh/mudflat/upper tidal creek). Users are advised check metadata and instrument information carefully for applicable time periods of specific data, as individual instrument deployment times vary. | Jessica R Lacy |

| Sediment size distributions from San Pablo Bay and China Camp Marsh, California | Ponar grab sampler | As part of the hydrodynamic and sediment transport investigations in San Pablo Bay and China Camp Marsh, California, particle size distributions of bed sediments were measured at most instrumented stations and are presented in a comma-delimited values spreadsheet. This portion of the data release presents San Pablo Bay and China Camp Marsh sediment particle size distributions from samples collected during multiple instrument deployments. Users are advised to check the data carefully for sampling time, location, and reference information. | Jessica R Lacy |
