Summary

Measurements of suspended sediment concentration, water velocity, suspended-sediment particle size, and suspended-sediment particle settling velocity were collected to estimate suspended-sediment flux and investigate sediment transport processes at Dumbarton Bridge in San Francisco Bay (NWIS station 373015122071000) from calendar year 2018 to 2019. Data were collected using: stationary and boat-mounted acoustic Doppler current meters (ADCP, a 1 MHz Nortek Aquadopp and a 1200kHz Teledyne RiverPro, respectively), four stationary and one profiling multiparameter water quality profiling sondes (YSI 6920), a stationary acoustic backscattering sensor (ABS, Sequoia LISST-ABS), a stationary laser diffraction particle size analyzer (Sequoia [...]

Summary

Measurements of suspended sediment concentration, water velocity, suspended-sediment particle size, and suspended-sediment particle settling velocity were collected to estimate suspended-sediment flux and investigate sediment transport processes at Dumbarton Bridge in San Francisco Bay (NWIS station 373015122071000) from calendar year 2018 to 2019. Data were collected using: stationary and boat-mounted acoustic Doppler current meters (ADCP, a 1 MHz Nortek Aquadopp and a 1200kHz Teledyne RiverPro, respectively), four stationary and one profiling multiparameter water quality profiling sondes (YSI 6920), a stationary acoustic backscattering sensor (ABS, Sequoia LISST-ABS), a stationary laser diffraction particle size analyzer (Sequoia LISST100x), and a settling chamber with an integrated video camera used to measure in-situ particle size and settling rates (see Manning and Dyer, 2002). All data from the boat-mounted ADCP is provided in "Boat_mounted_ADCP_data.zip". All data from the LISST100x is provided in "LISST100x.zip". Data from the remaining instrumentation is provided in seperate .csv files.

Data collection occurred at two primary locations. At a pier of Dumbarton Bridge at 37.5056361, -122.1188833 (all coordinates herein are provided in WGS84) collocated with NWIS station 373015122071000 and at nearby cross-channel transect defined between 37.4986167, -122.1181833 (River Left) to 37.5029500, -122.1117167 (River Right). All stationary instrumentation was mounted to two locations on a pier of Dumbarton Bridge. Mobile instrumentation, the boat-mounted ADCP and profiling multiparameter water quality sondes, were utilized to measure water velocity and estimate suspended-sediment concentration profiles at the cross-channel transect and at the bridge pier. Latitude, longitude, and depth from water surface for each sample collected by the mobile instrumentation is provided in the data files.

Cross-section averaged estimates of suspended-sediment flux were computed using the methods of Livsey and others (2020) and references therein.
