Suspended sediment concentrations from water samples collected in south San Francisco Bay, California, 2023-2024
Water samples were collected in south San Francisco Bay between August 2023 and August 2024 to measure suspended sediment concentration. The water samples were collected near USGS instrument platforms (see time-series data page) with a peristaltic pump. The suspended sediment concentrations of the samples were determined at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. Measured suspended sediment concentrations were used to calculate calibration coefficients that can be used to convert time series of turbidity data to time series of suspended sediment concentrations. These calibration coefficients can be found in file: DMP23_Turbidity_to_SSC_calibration_constants.csv, one of the support files for the time-series data section of this data release.
