Summary

Note: this data release has been deprecated. Find the updated version here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9X7VIN2 The interactions of waves and currents near an inlet influence sediment and alter sea-floor bedforms, especially during winter storms. As part of the Cross-Shore and Inlets Processes project to improve our understanding of cross-shore processes that control sediment budgets, the U.S. Geological Survey deployed instrumented platforms at two sites near Matanzas Inlet between January 24 and April 13, 2018. Matanzas Inlet is a natural, unmaintained inlet on the Florida Atlantic coast that is well suited for study of inlet and cross-shore processes. The study sites were offshore of the surf zone in a line perpendicular to the coast [...]

Purpose

These grain-size data from sediment samples collected at two sites near Matanzas Inlet, Florida, on January 24, 2018, and April 13, 2018, supplement oceanographic and water-quality time-series measurements. Specifically, the grain-size data are used in sediment transport models to compare predicted estimates of sediment resuspension and transport with observed estimates obtained from data collected during this study.
