Acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collection of water flow at Benicia Bridge, 2004

This data release contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data used in generating a model of sediment flux through Carquinez Strait, CA at Benicia Bridge. The ADCP outputs binary data files containing measurement scheme, location, time, velocity, backscatter, boat heading, depth, and other parameters. There are two forms of data provided, one collected from two transects along the western side of Benicia Bridge and one collected with two stationary, upward-looking ADCPs deployed on the bed 300 m seaward of Benicia Bridge. These data are provided in ".csv" format for the transect data, and ".dat" format for the upward-facing data, as described in the READMEforCSV.txt and READMEforDAT.txt files associated with this data release.
