In-Situ Field Data Gathering Stations, San Francisco Bay-Delta, Salinity Intrusion with Navigation Channels.

Abstract

Temperature, current speed and direction, optical transmissivity, electrical conductivity, and tidal stage were measured half-hourly at five three-level and one one-level stations between February 1979 and June 1980. The stations were located in the San Pablo Bay to Suisun Bay area, including Carquinez Strait, in Northern California. Their purpose was to learn more about the freshwater-saltwater circulation pattern and further verify the Corps' Sausalito-based hydraulic model of the San Francisco Bay-Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region. The main report describes the system of instruments and the associated data processing programs developed to transfer the data from cassettes to nine-track tapes, to screen it and present it on fiche. Examples of various displays are included. Associated volumes contain calibration records and field reports. The data are in tabulations, plots, and other displays, on microfiche which, may be secured from: U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco, 211 Main Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
