    "descript": "This portion of the USGS data release presents gridded bathymetry data derived from repeated bathymetric surveys conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District on the Pacific Ocean, Washington. Repeated surveys were performed between September 9, 2020, and March 10, 2021, from a vessel equipped with a multi-beam bathymetry system to characterize the morphology and dispersal of a nearshore berm composed of sediment dredged from the navigational channel at the mouth of the Columbia River. Digital data files containing gridded bathymetry data for each survey are provided in ESRI ARC ASCII (*.asc) format. These data accompany Stevens and others (2023).",

Bathymetry is the elevation of the Earth's surface beneath a body of water, especially the ocean, typically determined by measurements of depth from the water surface at mean lower low water. Distributions are topographic maps and bathymetric charts based on collected data and also include smoothed or gridded maps of bathymetry and elevation from observational data or other associated factors. Assessment data types include models of ecological value, economic value, or current rates of alterations due to erosion, accretion, climate change, and other stressors (for example, wetland habitat loss). Predictions are the results of models or projections of future distributions, values, or ecological impacts of bathymetry, including predicted changes due to natural and human forces such as erosion, deposition, sea-level rise, and dredging activities; predictions also include the results of scenario-based models of bathymetry changes under different management strategies."
