Recovery of instruments to 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.
Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
Location
Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States, Atlantic Ocean
Info derived
waves, currents, water level, seabed images (sonar), seabed changes, suspended sediment, water temperature, conductivity, grain size of bottom sediment.
Comments
Recovery cruise for instruments deployed on 3/10/2021.
