Investigate mechanisms of transport of sediment from shoals to channel, and resuspension response of cohesive sediments to wind waves.
Description
United States Geological Survey, Pacific Science Center. Chief Scientists: Jessie Lacy, USGS, Mark Stacey, UCB. Data of field activity F-5-09-SF in South San Francisco Bay from 09/08/2009 to 10/07/2009
Location
South San Francisco Bay
Summary
Moorings to collect time-series data, and shipboard surveying and sampling during the deployment to further characterize spatial variability in currents, to collect calibration samples for optical measurements of suspended sediment concentration, and to sample bed sediment grain size.
Info derived
Current speed and direction, tidal stage, wave properties, suspended sediment concentration, salinity, bed sediment grain size.
Comments
Same experimental design as F-1-09-SF. Collaboration with UC Berkeley. Retriever (for deployment and retrieval), Frontier (for surveying and sampling).
