Summary

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center at three locations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Data were collected in Lindsey Slough in April 2017, and Middle River and the Mokelumne River in March 2018. Data files are grouped by location. At each of the three sites, data were collected at stations outside and within patches of vegetation, to determine how submerged invasive vegetation influences tidal currents and suspended-sediment concentration. The Table below shows the data types collected at each station, and classifies stations as Vegetated (V) [...]

Purpose

The data were collected to determine how submerged invasive vegetation influences tidal currents, suspended-sediment concentration, and sediment flux. The survey was conducted as part of a cooperative project, with the USGS California Water Science Center and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, to provide critical data about the impact of Invasive Aquatic Vegetation (IAV) on fish habitat and the health of marshes to agencies that manage and control IAV in the Delta. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
