Winyah Bay, Georgetown, South Carolina, Data Collection Survey Report

Abstract

Water levels, current speeds and directions, salinities, suspended sediment concentrations, bed sediment characteristics, and densities were measured in Winyah Bay, SC, in January 1989. The prototype data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of a dredged material placement operation to create a wetland marsh in the bay. The report describes the equipment and procedures used in the data acquisition and presents tables, plots, and summaries of all the data collected. Keywords: Boundary layer profiling; Density gages; Tables data; Core samples; Bays/suspended sediments. (edc)
