Submerged multiparameter sondes that measure optical turbidity were deployed at one site landward and three sites seaward of the Herring River restriction. Periodically, the sites were visited and additional turbidity measurements were collected with a handheld multiparameter sonde, and water samples were collected for determination of suspended-sediment concentration (SSC). The handheld turbidity measurements were regressed against SSC using a repeated median regression to determine a calibration curve for calibrating the turbidity time-series data to SSC. The SSC derived from the turbidity time-series measurements can then be used to estimate the sediment budget and sediment availability after removal of the tidal restriction. The data collected with the handheld multiparameter sonde are presented here. Purpose: Water quality parameters including temperature, salinity, pH, chlorophyll, blue-green algae, dissolved oxygen, fluorescent dissolved organic matter, and turbidity were measured periodically with a handheld multiparameter sonde in the Herring River, Wellfleet, MA, between November 12, 2018, to October 23, 2019. The turbidity data were used to calibrate a time series of optical turbidity measurements to suspended-sediment concentration. Supplemental_Information: These data were collected as part of a larger study, funded by the USGS-NPS Natural Resources Preservation Program (NRPP), of four sites within the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network: Cape Cod National Seashore, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, and Assateague Island National Seashore. The overarching goals of this study are to identify the dominant sources of sediment, determine how sediment transport varies over time, and analyze sediment availability to the marshes in order to inform management efforts.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Depth was calculated from pressure where there were missing depth values. When the sensor was not zeroed to atmospheric pressure prior to deployment, the depth and pressure readings were corrected using barometric pressure. Completeness_Report: Readings where the sensor was out of the water were removed. If turbidity readings differed by more than 100% of the median turbidity value, they were filled with NaN. Bursts were excluded when the turbidity standard deviation divided by the turbidity mean was greater than 0.5. Only the bursts that passed quality-control and were taken concurrently with a water sample are included in the csv file. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal position was determined using a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc handheld GPS. The expected absolute, horizontal accuracy is stated to be 3 to 5 m at the 95% confidence level using the WAAS setting. Additional sources of error in the position for the water sample locations are caused by the offset from the GPS and the exact location of the van Dorn water sampler at the time the sample was taken, which could be as large as 2 m. Therefore, overall expected accuracy of the reported horizontal position for these water sample locations is on the order of 7 m or better. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Total water column depth values at each sample site were determined using a handheld depth sounder. Sample depths were determined using markings on the lowering line for the van Dorn sampler, and the samples were typically between 0.25 and 0.75 m above the seabed. Depth measurements were taken from the water surface at time of sample and were not referenced to a fixed datum. Expected accuracy of depth measurements is 0.3 m or better. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The deployment sites were accessed by boat and a YSI EXO2 Multiparameter Sonde was lowered overboard. A burst of readings was taken concurrently while a water sample was collected with a van Dorn water sampler. Measurements and water samples were taken on the following dates: November 12 and 15, 2018; February 13 and 15, 2019; May 13 and 16, 2019; July 25, 2019; August 7, 2019; September 19, 2019; October 21 and 23, 2019.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Upon returning to the lab, the turbidity readings were downloaded from the YSI EXO2 into a binary file and exported to a csv file using YSI KorEXO software. Process_Date: 201910 Process_Step: Process_Description: Matlab was used to compile data and site information (latitude/longitude) from all of the csv files. Depth was calculated from pressure where there were missing depth values as depth = p/(rho * g) where p = pressure (Pascals), rho = water density (kg/m^3), and g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s^2). Rho was calculated using the function 'gsw_rho' from the Gibbs SeaWater Oceanographic Toolbox (www.teos-10.org). Depth and pressure readings were corrected using barometric pressure when the sensor was not zeroed to atmospheric pressure. Measurements taken when the sensor was out of the water were removed. Readings where turbidity differed by more than 100% of the median turbidity value were filled with NaN. The burst was not used if there were less than 5 readings left. Bursts were also excluded where the turbidity standard deviation divided by the turbidity mean was greater than 0.5. Negative readings beyond the range of sensor were rounded to zero for CHLrfu, Fch_906, fDOMQSU, fDOMRFU, BGAPErfu, and BGAPE. All columns were rounded to the correct significant figures, dates/times were converted to UTC, and the final compiled data was exported to a CSV file. Only the bursts that have passed quality-control and match the date and time of a water sample are included in the csv file.
