Abstract:
Weathered oil in the surf-zone after an oil spill may mix with suspended sediments to form sand and oil agglomerates (SOA). Sand and oil agglomerates may form in mats on the scale of tens of meters (m), and may break apart into pieces between 1 and 10 centimeters (cm) in diameter. These more mobile pieces are susceptible to alongshore and cross-shore transport, and lead to beach re-oiling on the time scale of months to years following a spill. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted experiments March 10 - 13, 2014, to expand the available data on sand and oil agglomerate motion; test shear stress based incipient motion parameterizations in a controlled, laboratory setting; and directly observe SOA exhumation and burial processes. Artificial sand and oil agglomerates (aSOA) were created and deployed in a small-oscillatory flow tunnel in two sets of experiments, during which, video and velocity data were obtained. The first experiment, which was set up to help researchers investigate incipient motion, used with an immobile, rough bottom (referred to as false-floor) and the second–testing seafloor interactions–utilized with a coarse grain sand bottom (movable sand bed). Detailed information regarding the creation of the aSOA can be found in Dalyander et al. (2015). More information about the USGS laboratory experiment conducted in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory can be found in the associated Open File Report (OFR Number Unknown).
Purpose:
This dataset includes video of artificial sand and oil agglomerates acquired with a GoPro action camera, during a a sea floor interaction (SFI) experiment. The footage was collected during a 2014 USGS small-oscillatory flow tunnel experiment conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The information contained within the videos is needed to capture artificial sand and oil agglomerate incipient motion, and flow velocity at time of incipient motion, under ideal conditions, to test shear stress based incipient motion parameterizations. The information contained within the videos is also needed to capture exhumation and burial processes of artificial sand and oil agglomerates. Observed flow velocities, which provide additional information about aSOA incipient motion, were also collected during the sea floor interaction experiment (see 2017_309_DD_SFI_velocity.zip) and are also included in this data release.
Supplemental_Information:
This dataset (2017_309_DD_SFI_GoPro_video.zip) contains deployed GoPro video data collected during small-oscillatory flow tunnel laboratory experiments at the Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, Stennis Mississippi. To ensure that SPCMSC data management protocols were followed, this survey was retroactively assigned a USGS field activity number (FAN), 2017-309-DD. Additional survey and data details are available at http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2017-309-DD.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
A single, unsecured, GoPro high-definition (HD) camera was deployed in the small oscillatory flow tunnel during Experiment B (see aSOA_SFI_video_metadata.txt for details) to provide a unique perspective of aSOA motion and sand bed evolution. The GoPro camera captured HD video, at 30 frames per second (fps). File sizes are generally between 500 MB and 4 GB on disc.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All GoPro videos were acquired with the same GoPro camera. The camera was not mounted or secured inside of the oscillatory flow tunnel.
Completeness_Report:
Video data from the deployed GoPro camera is included for all times when the camera was not buried by sand ripples.

Process_Description:
In March, 2014, experiments were conducted at NRL’s Sediment Dynamics Laboratory, located in Stennis, MS. Artificial sand-oil agglomerates were deployed in the small-oscillatory flow tunnel with a cross-sectional area of 25 cm by 25 cm, a test bed length of 2-m, and a 35-cm deep sediment well. Oscillating currents (simulating bottom velocities generated by waves) were driven in the tank by a flywheel with variable frequencies (20-90 rpm) and stroke lengths (22, 33, or 44 cm). For all experiments, the oscillatory current had a slight asymmetry resulting in preferential transport downstream (toward the sediment trap) in the tank. Additional information on the characteristics and design of the flow tunnel can be found in Calantoni and others (2013).

Process_Description:
The initial conditions of Experiment B were simply the final conditions of Experiment A (see aSOA_SFI_video_metadata.txt for details). The bed was not leveled. The aSOAs of ranging in diameter from 0.5 cm, 1 cm and 2.5 cm were deployed sitting proud on the sand bed. In addition to the GoPro camera, which was deployed in the trough of one bed ripple, two Canon 7D DSLR cameras captured footage of the aSOAS in 1080p HD video at 30 fps.
