Notes: During the week of Sept. 28 - Oct. 2 scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey will be working along the coastline from Santa Cruz to Moss Landing. Either by all-terrain vehicle, personal watercraft, or on foot, they will be surveying local beaches and the nearby ocean bottom to compile a three-dimensional map of how beaches change in northern Monterey Bay.

| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rover - Trimble | --- | Transects Profiles Navigation | Topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California, September and October 2015 (This part of the data release presents topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September and October 2015. Topography data were collected on foot with survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks and with an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) using a GNSS receiver mounted at a measured height above the ground.) |
| Echosounder-1 (Odom Echotrac CV-100) | --- | Single Beam | Nearshore bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California, September and October 2015 (This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September and October 2015 using two personal watercraft (PWCs). The PWCs were equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.) |
