Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, Louisiana, Field Data Report

Abstract

Water levels, current speeds and directions, salinities, and suspended sediment concentrations were measured in the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, New Orleans, LA, in October and November 1988. The prototype data were collected as part of a study to incorporate these data in a numerical model for determination of shoaling rates. This report describes the equipment and procedures used in the data acquisition and presents tables, plots, and summaries of all the data collected. Attempts to correlate ground truth suspended sediment data with satellite data were unsuccessful due to cloud cover during the periods data were obtained. (Author) (kr)
