Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Current, Sampling: Geology, Sonar: Sidescan, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Deployment of geoprobe to gather time-series data on near-bottom sediment transport and tidal/wind-driven mixing; determine effects of flow and bottom stresses on biological processes.

Equipment Used: Geoprobe, ADP, handsamplegrab, sidescansonar
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Completed side-scan survey on a site about 1 km NE of the San Mateo Bridge within the main channel. Also, deployed one geoprobe tripod and two ADCP systems within 200 m of one another in about 18 m water depth in the main channel. Obtained small bottom samples using divers for calibration of the optical instruments and for grain-size analysis.
