Sediment collection from April 2023 to July 2023, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

Our goal for this work is to place better constraints on aeolian atmospheric-surface interactions through long-term monitoring of an active, bi-modal dune field located near Grand Falls, Arizona. This dune field has been monitored since 2013 by the USGS, and data from each collection year are released as USGS Data Release products. Data described here is the sediment collection component of the Imagery, sediment collection, photogrammetry, and meteorological data from April 2023 to July 2023, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona. Our instruments are set up near an active ripple field in the Grand Falls Dune Field. The instrument array includes a meteorological weather station that records temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, solar radiation, and precipitation every 15 minutes, three BlazeVideo cameras situated surrounding the ripple field that take images every 10 minutes to capture ripple migration, and a suite of passive sediment catchers. Our passive sediment catchers comprise three sets of five Big Spring Number Eight (BSNE) and two sets of six Modified Wilson and Cook (MWAC) passive sediment samplers. In addition to the deployed instruments, each time we visit the field site we also image the ripple field using a Nikon D750 (35 mm) camera. This data is processed using the software Agisoft Metashape Professional to create digital elevation models of the ripple field.
