Two of the grab samples were sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions. Mean grain size of remaining samples was determined from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab (Barnard and others, 2007) using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images (Buscombe and others, 2010). Results of sieved samples were used for verification of mean grain size values obtained with the image processing algorithm. Purpose: Data were obtained to provide inputs and validation data for a numerical model, and additionally to provide baseline environmental data previously not available.

Sediment grain sizes are estimated to be accurate within ±23 percent of the reported values. Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. Data has been checked for duplications and omissions. Missing data have been filled with NaN values. Where data were not collected a value of n/a value is used. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Sediment sample locations were obtained with hand-held GPS units and are estimated to be accurate to within 4 meters.

Process_Date: 20110927 Process_Step: Process_Description: Two sediment grab sampleswere sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions (ASTM-D7928). Mean grain sizes of remaining samples were computed using the MATLAB-based DGS toolbox from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab following the methods of Barnard and others, 2007 and using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images as described in Buscombe and others, 2010. Results of sieved samples were used for verification of mean grain size values obtained with the image processing algorithm.
