Hydrodynamic time-series data from two marshes and adjacent shallows in Northern San Francisco Bay, California, 2022-2023
Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center at shallow subtidal and intertidal sites in Corte Madera Bay and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge (SPNWF) in San Francisco Bay, CA, as well as on the marsh plain of SPNWF marsh and in a tidal creek and on the marsh plain of Corte Madera Marsh, in 2022 and 2023. Data files are grouped by station, San Pablo subtidal, San Pablo intertidal, San Pablo marsh, Corte Madera subtidal, Corte Madera intertidal, Corte Madera marsh, or Corte Madera tidal creek, then by instrument type. At most stations there were periods of low water when sensors were no longer submerged, resulting in spurious data. In addition, most instruments experienced some degree of biofouling, particularly at the subtidal and intertidal stations. The subtidal stations also occasionally show signs of platform rocking or movement due to strong water flow, and/or from accidental fisher/boater interference. Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check the metadata for instrument information, as platform deployment times and data-processing methods varied.
