Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:24 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 19, 2002 at 12:00 AM
Sediment properties and other data from FIXED PLATFORM From Coastal Waters of California from April 11 to December 3, 1978. This data set consists of the results of the Nearshore Sediment Transport Study at Torrey Pines Beach, California. These data were submitted on 8 tapes in unformatted binary format. A description of the project can be found under: "Report on data from the Nearshore Sediment Transport | IMR Reference Number 79-8, Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The data are divided into 8 physical tapes with several logical tape numbers (LT) within the tapes. TP1-TP8 (LT 2) describes the results of the Scripps Shelf and Shore data (SAS); (L00911) The Field measurements of Surf; L00912 - represents the University of Washington data; L00913 - represents the Beach and Offshore Survey data. These data have been archived to the following 18-track cartridges: Nearshore Sediment Transport Study, Torrey Pines Beach, CA.
