| Moorings - Tripods | --- | Mooring (physical oceanography) | Hydrodynamic time-series data from San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay , California, 2019 (Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center within two embayments of San Francisco Bay. Data were collected in San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay from June to August 2019 at seven unique stations. Data files are grouped by area (shallows of San Pablo Bay, channel of San Pablo Bay, and shallows of Grizzly Bay). Each shallow site contained a variety of sensors located on two tripods and one surface mooring, while the channel site consisted of one tripod. Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check metadata for instrument information, as platform deployment times and data-processing methods varied.) Distribution of particle size in suspension at various depths from San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay, California, 2019 (These data present suspended particle size distributions collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center within two embayments of San Francisco Bay. Data were collected at one site in San Pablo Bay and one site in Grizzly Bay from June through August 2019, by deploying a Sequoia Scientific Laser In-situ Scattering and Transmissometry instrument (LISST 100x) from a small vessel near pre-established USGS instrument moorings. At both sites, data were collected on six dates at three depths, generally near the water surface, at mid depth, and near the sediment bed, for 1-3 minutes at each depth. LISST volume concentrations are most accurate when the optical percent transmission is above 30, as light passing through the sample volume is unlikely to be scattered by more than one particle. One file (ERO19PBP04) was removed due to poor data quality throughout the file. These files contain all samples collected, judgment should be applied when using them. Users are advised to check metadata and instrument information carefully for applicable time periods of specific data.) |
