To determine the mechanisms driving the exchange of sediment between subitdal and intertidal habitats, and to determine how resuspension from the bed is affected by wetting and drying.
Description
United States Geological Survey, Pacific Science Center. Chief Scientists: Lissa MacVean, Jessie Lacy. Deployment of moored, autonomous instruments data of field activity I-D3-11-SF in North shore of San Pablo Bay from 03/14/2011 to 03/18/2011
Location
North shore of San Pablo Bay
Summary
Moorings to collect time-series data, and shipboard sampling during the deployment to collect calibration samples for optical measurements of suspended sediment concentration, and to sample bed sediment grain size and other characteristics.
Info derived
Flow velocities, salinity, temperature, depths, suspended sediment concentrations; grain sizes in suspension and on the bed, bed porosity, water content, and erodibility; wave characteristics.
Comments
this activity is a recovery/redeployment of instuments deployed on I-D1-11-SF. Associated FACS ID: I-D1-11-SF
