Summary

Bed sediment samples were collected in south San Francisco Bay on two days in July 2020, to analyze for sediment grain size distributions. Sediment samples were collected from the R/V Snavely near pre-established U.S. Geological Survey instrument moorings using a Gomex or Ponar box corer that was subsampled by scraping the top 0.5 cm of the core. Data are provided in a comma-delimited values spreadsheet.

Purpose

These data were collected to reveal the primary particle grain size of sediment available on the bed at the instrumentation sites. They were collected as part of a collaborative study funded by the San Francisco Estuary Institute on tidal controls of suspended particle size in south San Francisco Bay. These data are intended for researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
