| Beach topography of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2015 | Trimble R7 GPS (AS) | This portion of the USGS data release presents topography data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, in 2015 (USGS Field Activity Number 2015-647-FA). Topographic profiles were collected by walking along survey lines with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks. | Andrew Stevens |
| Nearshore bathymetry of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2015 | Echosounder-1 | This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetry data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon in 2015 (USGS Field Activity Number 2015-647-FA). Bathymetry data were collected using four personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. | Andrew Stevens |
