AKA: none

Other ID: S-I1-09-SC

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Jonathan Warrick

Affiliate Investigator(s): Jon Warrick

Information Specialist(s): Joanne Thede

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Current, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Deployment of tripods and buoy to gather time-series data on near-bottom and water column sediment transport and tidal/wind-driven mixing. Work is intended to monitor sediment transport events following sediment placement on the beach and outflow from the Tijuana River.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Scripps Marine Facility, San Diego, CA

End Port/Location: Scripps Marine Facility, San Diego, CA

Start Date: 2009-02-25

End Date: 2009-02-26

Equipment Used: current profilers, opticalbackscattersensor, transmissometer, GPS, acousticdoppler

Information to be Derived: Time-series data on near-bottom and water column sediment transport and tidal/wind-driven mixing, effects of flow and bottom stresses on transport rates
