Field Activity 2015-672-FA

Identifier 2015-672-FA
Also known as SPE15
Purpose Monitor wave height near China Camp marsh and water level within China Camp marsh during 2015/16 winter. Collect baseline topographic transects of marsh edge to monitor for geomorphic change.
Location San Pablo Bay in northern San Francisco Bay, CA, USA
Summary Josh Logan submitted GPS data to FAD on 1/8/2016
Info derived Time series of wave height and period in San Pablo Bay shallows adjacent to marsh in China Camp State Park. Time series of water level at one location within marsh, to monitor effects of tides and storm surge on marsh inundation. Baseline topographic transects of marsh edge to monitor for geomorphic change.
Comments 1 day at sea for deployment, 1 for recovery (in April). 3 days in the marsh to deploy and recover pressure sensor and collect topographic transects. 2015-12-01 Topographic survey equipment: GPS Base: Trimble R7 S/N 4731K30587 GPS Rover: Trimble R10 S/N 5311428802 Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2014-638-FA Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2014-656-FA Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2014-678-FA Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2015-607-FA
