Summary

Water samples were collected in San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay on five days from June through August 2019. The water samples were collected near pre-established USGS instrument moorings with a peristaltic pump or via a Niskin bottle, deployed off of a small vessel. Data are provided in a comma-delimited values spreadsheet.

Purpose

These data were collected to calibrate turbidity data from optical backscatter sensors to suspended-sediment concentration. They were collected as part of a collaborative study between the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program, the USGS California Water Science Center, and the USGS Water Resource Mission Area investigating physical and biological controls on bed erodibility. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
