CHIRP Data from Grand Bay, Alabama, acquired during R/V Jenny survey JN0208 (2002)

Part of a study to explore incised valley fill from three Gulf of Mexico bays, specifically Mobile Bay, Galveston Bay, and Corpus Christi Bay, this R/V Jenny survey collected high-resolution CHIRP data in Weeks Bay, Alabama in 2002.?The goal was to use the data to identify flooding surfaces and help quantify coastal response to forcing mechanisms. This will help test the hypothesis that variations in the rate of coastal subsidence and river discharge were not the cause of the observed coastal backstepping events.

本数据集为一项研究的组成部分，该研究旨在探究墨西哥湾三个典型海湾——莫比尔湾、加尔维斯顿湾与科珀斯克里斯蒂湾——的充填下切河谷。2002年，R/V Jenny号（珍妮号研究船）考察队在阿拉巴马州威克斯湾采集了高分辨率CHIRP数据。本研究的目标为利用该数据识别洪泛面，并量化海岸对各类强迫机制的响应，以此验证如下假说：海岸沉降速率与河流径流量的变化并非已观测到的海岸退积事件的成因。本研究由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）项目EAR 0107650资助。
