Oceanographic, Atmospheric and Water-Quality Measurements Sandwich Town Neck Beach, Massachusetts, 2017

Description: This web page provides access to oceanographic, atmospheric, and water-quality measurements near Sandwich Town Neck Beach, Massachusetts. These measurements were made in conjunction with two U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) projects: the Coastal Model Applications and Measurements Project, and the Barrier Island Evolution Research project, both supported by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program. These measurements provide short-duration datasets of waves, tides, and overwash from portable pressure sensors deployed on the beach during major winter storms on these dates: January 23-26; February 9-10; February 13-15; and March 13-15, 2017. Longer datasets were obtained from sensors on a platform deployed on the seafloor north of the beach in seven meters depth. These sensors measured waves, water level, currents, temperature, salinity, and turbidity between December 2016 and June 2017; a period that overlapped with subaerial mapping, an offshore bathymetric survey, and the storm observations.

Duration: Dec. 2016 - Jun. 2017
