Biophysical Controls on Sediment Suspension in South Bay, VA 2013-2014

Research was conducted in South Bay, Virginia, a shallow (1-2 m mean depth) subtidal coastal bay on the Delmarva Peninsula. Hydrodynamic measurements including current velocity, wave characteristics, shear stress, as well as biological samples, light and SSC data were recorded for 1-3 weeks over 2 consecutive years during the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons.

Data tables are included for sediment characteristics, wave height, wave vector measurements and light.本研究于弗吉尼亚州南湾开展，该海湾地处德尔马瓦半岛（Delmarva Peninsula），为平均水深1~2米的浅海潮下沿岸海湾。研究团队在连续两年的春、夏、秋、冬四季期间，开展了为期1至3周的数据采集工作，采集内容涵盖水动力参数（包括流速、波浪特征、剪切应力）、生物样本、光照数据与悬浮泥沙浓度（SSC, Suspended Sediment Concentration）数据。相关引用文献为：Ross Timmerman于2014年完成的硕士学位论文《浅海沿岸海湾悬浮沉积物的生物物理控制机制》（原文标题：Biophysical Controls on Sediment Suspension in a Shallow Coastal Bay），授予单位为弗吉尼亚大学。本数据集包含沉积物特征、波高、波浪矢量测量数据及光照相关的数据表。
