Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: 1. Investigate the evolution of bed-sediment grain size on the inner shelf on event and seasonal time scales, in response to enrichment from a fluvial sources and winnowing by wave action. 2. Investigate the influence of grain size, bedform dimensions, wave energy, and current speed on suspended-sediment concentration and sediment transport.
