This data release includes time-series data and grain-size distributions from sediment grabs collected during the deployments. During each deployment, time series of current velocity, water depth, and turbidity were collected at several stations in the shallows, and one station in the channel. Velocity and depth (pressure) were collected at high frequency (10 Hz) to allow calculation of wave parameters and turbulence statistics. Purpose: The purpose of these deployments was to investigate sediment dynamics in very shallow water, including the intertidal region, in San Francisco Bay. We are interested in what controls turbidity in shallow and intertidal regions because they serve as an important source of sediment to marshes. In addition, shallows tend to be the most turbid part of the estuary, because of wave-driven resuspension, so sediment dynamics in the shallows are an important part of the sediment budget of the estuary. These data sets provide calibration data for sediment transport models of San Francisco Bay.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within expected ranges. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the metadata for each part of this data release carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy derived from GPS instrumentation is less than 1 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: There are two sources of uncertainty associated with vertical positioning of the instruments: 1) the measuring tools used during instrument mounting, 2) the amount of settling that occurs during deployment. There was no evidence that the platforms settled to a large degree. The measuring tools used to mount the instruments onto the platforms have a resolution of 1 cm resulting in an uncertainty of 2 cm.

Process_Date: 20180204 Process_Step: Process_Description: Files are named with a convention that uses a 13-digit alpha-numeric code. The first three characters for this dataset are all 'ITX' for the experiment name. The fourth and fifth positions represent the calendar year in which the first data point in the file was taken (11, 2011; 12, 2012). The sixth to eight character designate the platform on which the instruments were deployed. Next is a two-digit index reflecting the position of the primary sensor of each instrument on the platform, with 01 the closest to the surface. Next is a two- or three- character code for the instrument or data type (wh, RDInstruments ADCP current data; adv, Sontek's Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter; bpr, RBR's bursting pressure sensor; ct and ctd RBR's XR-420 CTD or Seabird Electronics 16plus or 37-SM CT or CTDs).
