Summary

Our goal for this work is to place better constraints on aeolian atmospheric-surface interactions through long-term monitoring of an active, bi-modal dune field located near Grand Falls, Arizona. This dune field has been monitored since 2013 by the USGS, and data from each collection year are released as USGS Data Release products. Data described here is the sediment collection component of the Imagery, sediment collection, photogrammetry, and meteorological data from April 2023 to July 2023, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona Data Release. Our instruments are set up near an active ripple field in the Grand Falls Dune Field. The instrument array includes a meteorological weather station that records temperature, barometric pressure, [...]

Purpose

Collecting sediment during well-constrained time intervals in conjunction with known heights and the cross-sectional area of the openings for the sediment catchers enable us to calculate sediment flux and drift potential.
