Description

This mooring and survey dataset is part of a broader effort to understand the transport and patchiness of buoyant material in estuarine systems. The field effort was in Delaware Bay, a major estuary on the east coast of the United States of America.  7 moorings were deployed over 2 field seasons: 3 in the summer of 2022 and 4 in the summer of 2023. The moorings consisted of bottom-mounted ADCPs in 2022 and 2023, surface CT sensors in 2022, and surface/bottom CT sensors in 2023.    Additionally, there were 2 cross-channel tidal-cycle surveys in 2022 and 2 in 2023, and several along-channel surveys in both years. 

The files are in Mathworks MAT format.
