Deploy instruments to collect time series data to support evaluations of sediment transport and wetland stability, which will support development of models of storm impacts on estuarine health, vulnerability of adjacent communities, and sustainability of restored and natural wetlands.
Location
Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, United States, Estuary
Summary
Deployed bottom landing current meters and pole mounted turbidity and temperature loggers. Time series data will be downloaded during future field activities, but all time series data will be associated with this FA.
Info derived
Currents, turbidity, water level, water temperature, suspended sediment concentration.
