Sediment transport in the coastal region is a complex process involving interactions between flow dynamics, sediments, and bedforms. Sediment type and bed geometry directly influence entrainment of sediments into suspension, and at sites where ripples occur (sand formations on the order of several cm high and less than two meter long wavelengths), the understanding of ripple dynamics is an essential component in improving sediment transport models. To gain a better understanding and ability to predict sediment transport, a field study was undertaken to investigate morphology, orientation, and dynamics of ripples on the seafloor. 20040925 20041110 ground condition Complete Unknown -86.65620 -86.61060 30.39550 30.07290 General U.S. Geological Survey USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP coastal change seabed ripple sediment transport Sediment Acoustics Experiment SAX04 Ripples Department Research Institute DRI Acoustic Doppler Profiler ADP Imagenex rotating sonar INX Multiple transducer array MTA Slide projector SP Bed sediment camera BSC ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificinformation location oceans and estuaries Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography Earth Science > Oceans > Coastal Processes Instruments > Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Active Remote Sensing > Profilers/Sounders > Acoustic Sounders Instruments > Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Active Remote Sensing > Profilers/Sounders > Lidar/Laser Sounders > LIDAR General FL USA Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Fort Walton Beach Florida None Public domain data from the U.S. government is freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

Ripple heights are estimates based on best fit sinusoids to measured profile data. Grain sizes represent direct point measurements of surficial sediments. All avaialble data were analyzed; in cases where multiple data were available for a given site and parameter, optimal results based on statistcal analyses are reported. An explanation of the event and related parameters or tolerances is in the larger work. 2007 Point 0.001 0.001 Decimal degrees North American Datum of 1983 Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137.000000 298.257222 Local surface 1.0 meters Implicit coordinate >Mean heading, pitch, and roll measured at each ADP Drop: > Station ID > ADP ID > Heading (decimal degrees) > Pitch (decimal degrees) > Roll (decimal degrees) > >Ripple wavelengths and orientations from INX: > Drop ID > 4 m scan lambda (meters) > 4 m scan delta (degrees) > 10 m scan lambda (meters) > 10 m scan delta (degrees) > Sweep radii (meters) > Employeed lambda (meters) > Employed delta (degrees) > Employed Sweep used > >Summary of thresholds chosen to extract MTA data: > Drop ID > Filename > Threshold value(s) employed (mV) > >Ripple heights obtained with the MTA: > Drop ID > ripple height (centimeters) > >Ripple heights obtained with the slide projector: > Drop ID > ripple height (centimeters) > >Data summary: > Index > Drop ID > height (meters) > Latitude (decimal degrees) > Longitude (decimal degrees) > Ripple wavelength (centimeters) > Ripple orientation (degrees counter clockwise from East) > Ripple height (centimeters) > Sediment grain size (milimeters) > none U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Daniel M.
