Collect data to assess cross-shore sediment transport prediction techniques being implemented in coastal modeling efforts for wave dominated sandy coast. Measurements will focus on waves, wave induced water velocities near the seabed, and the response of the seabed to these forces.
Location
Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States, Atlantic Ocean
Summary
Arrived on site @ 14:40 UTC. Only 3 samples collected by ponar because the sampler came up empty on the other 3 tries. Quadpod in the water @ 15:58. Communicated with the releases and verified they were upright.
Info derived
waves, currents, water level, seabed images (sonar), seabed changes, suspended sediment, water temperature, conductivity, grain size of bottom sediment.
Grain-size analysis data from sediment samples in support of oceanographic and water-quality measurements in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, collected in March and April, 2021.
