Information Specialist(s): Joanne C. Ferreira
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Location-Elevation: Transects, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Monitor wave height near China Camp marsh and water level within China Camp marsh during 2015/16 winter. Collect baseline topographic transects of marsh edge to monitor for geomorphic change.
Vehicle(s): None
Start Port/Location: San Rafael, CA

Information to be Derived: Time series of wave height and period in San Pablo Bay shallows adjacent to marsh in China Camp State Park. Time series of water level at one location within marsh, to monitor effects of tides and storm surge on marsh inundation. Baseline topographic transects of marsh edge to monitor for geomorphic change.
