Discharge measurements from transects of a tidal creek in Corte Madera Marsh, Northern San Francisco Bay, California, during 2022 and 2023.
Corte Madera Marsh, located in northern San Francisco Bay, California, is experiencing shoreline erosion. Determining whether the eroded sediment is exported to the bay or imported via tidal channels and deposited on the marsh platform is critical to understanding the long-term response of the marsh to wave attack and sea-level rise. Quantifying water-column sediment flux helps to characterize the role of tidal channels in this process, and water discharge is a key component of sediment flux. Tidal creek discharge was measured repeatedly over diurnal tidal cycles in a tidal channel located in the central, Muzzi marsh region of Corte Madera marsh, California during the summer of 2022 and during the winter of 2023. These transect data were collected using a downward-looking Teledyne RDI RiverPro 1200-kilohertz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) from a moving boat.
