Field Activity P105SC

Identifier P105SC
Alternate names P-1-05-SC
Purpose Deployment of bottom mounted current meters and CT sensors and surface CT sensors to assess dry season circulation patterns in river estuary
Description United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientist: Jingping Xu. Deployment data (navigation) of field activity P-1-05-SC in San Gabriel River, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, CA, USA from 07/06/2005 to 07/07/2005
Location USA
Summary Instruments were deployed at three predetermined locations, and CTD profiles were obtained at each of the sites. A CTD survey was also conducted transiting up the river estuary on a flooding tide, taking 9 total profiles. The CTD was then towed just below surface back down the estuary, and a cross-channel transect of three CTD casts was performed. MBC Environmental 22 ft. Panga work boat
Info derived Timeseries of Current profiles and bottom and surface temperature and salinity
