Field Activity 2018-032-FA

Identifier 2018-032-FA
Purpose Measure cross-shore sediment transport processes in the presence of an inlet. Focus of this study will be in the nearshore just offshore of the surfzone.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location Matanzas Inlet, Florida, United States, Atlantic Ocean
Info derived Water velocities, pressure, waves, seabed change, turbidity, temperature, conductivity, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, and sediment grain size.
Comments Recovery cruise for Matanzas Inlet deployed time-series platforms. Bringing USGS divers as insurance for being successful at recovering all deployed platforms. Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2018-026-FA
