| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radio (base) | --- | Benchmarks LIDAR Navigation Profiles Transects | Beach topography of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2020 (This portion of the USGS data release presents topography data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, in 2020 (USGS Field Activity Number 2020-622-FA). Topographic profiles were collected by walking along survey lines with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks.) |

| GPS | --- | Navigation | |
| Waverunners | --- | Navigation Single Beam | Nearshore bathymetry of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2020 (This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetry data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, in 2020 (USGS Field Activity Number 2020-622-FA). Bathymetry data were collected using four personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. ) |
