Purpose: These data were collected to investigate the resuspension of sand into the water column as part of a study to quantify sediment fluxes and changes in marsh morphology at Whale's Tail marsh in southern San Francisco Bay. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.

No sand content in the winter samples. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data values are within the expected values. Duplicate samples yielded similar results. 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. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Water samples were collected June, July, and December 2021 using a peristaltic pump or sample bottle. Sampling positions were recorded using a hand-held global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. Samples were placed in cold storage until processed. Process_Date: 20211203 Process_Step: Process_Description: Suspended sediment measurements were made in the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. The total sample and container weight was first obtained, and the sample was rinsed through a 63mm sieve to split the sample into sand and fine fractions. The empty container weight was obtained to determine the total sample concentration. The sand fraction was dried and weighed. Obtaining the fine fraction weight depended on the concentration of fines. Large quantities of the fine fraction were centrifuged and dried before weighing, and small quantities were filtered and dried before weighing.
