| Acoustic backscatter from 2013 interferometric swath bathymetry systems survey of Columbia River Mouth, Oregon and Washington | swathplus-M 234.5 Khz interfer | This part of the USGS data release presents acoustic backscatter data for the Columbia River Mouth, Oregon and Washington. The acoustic backscatter data of the Columbia River Mouth, Oregon and Washington were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Mapping was completed in 2013, using a 234-kHz SEA SWATHPlus interferometric system. These data are not intended for navigational purposes. | Guy Gelfenbaum |

The bathymetry data of the Columbia River Mouth, Oregon and Washington were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

| Oceanographic time-series measurements from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | Moorings - Tripods | Time-series data of water surface elevation, wave height, and water column currents, temperature, salinity, and acoustic seabed images were acquired for 38 days between 9 May and 15 June, 2013 in the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington. | Andrew Stevens |
| Vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | currentmeter | Spatial surveys of water column currents were performed between June 14 and 16, 2013, in the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington. These data were collected using an acoustic-doppler current profiler (ADCP). | Andrew Stevens |

| Lagrangian drifter data from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | GPS | Lagrangian surface currents were measured using drifters equipped with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. A total of 8 drifter deployments were performed between May 25 and June 8, 2013. For each deployment, drifters were released within the MCR and their positions were recorded until the drifters were recovered. The average duration of the drifter deployments varied between 1.6 h and 17.2 h and the number of drifters released in a deployment ranged between 11 and 84. The initial positions and timing of the release of the drifters relative to the tidal cycle varied throughout the drifter deployments. Digital files containing the drifter data from each deployment are available in NetCDF format. | Andrew Stevens |
| Surface-sediment grain-size data from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | sedimenttrap | This portion of the USGS data release presents sediment grain-size data from samples collected from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, in 2013. Surface sediment was sampled using a small ponar, or 'grab', sampler on May 9, 2013 from the F/V Cape Windy at 3 locations. A handheld global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver was used to determine the locations of sediment samples. The grain size distributions of samples were determined using standard techniques developed by the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. The grain-size data are provided in a comma-delimited spreadsheet (.csv). | Andrew Stevens |
| Water column acoustic backscatter data from the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | waverunners | Spatial surveys of water column acoustic backscatter were performed between May 28 and June 2, 2013, in the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington. These data were collected using a Biosonics DTX single-beam echosounder with 430 kHz transducer. | Andrew Stevens |

| Hydrodynamic modeling of the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013 | swathplus-M 234.5 Khz interfer | A process-based numerical model of the mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) and estuary, Oregon and Washington, was applied to simulate hydrodynamic conditions for the time period of the Office of Naval Research-funded River and Inlets Dynamics (RIVET II) field experiment conducted between May 9 and June 15, 2013. The model application was constructed using Delft3D, an open-source software package used to solve the unsteady shallow water equations to simulate water motion due to tides, waves, wind, and buoyancy effects. This portion of the USGS data release describes the model application for this experiment and presents input files necessary to run the Delft3D model, as well as selected output from the model simulation. | Andrew Stevens |
