Data Series 282
Suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at two sites in Suisun Bay, three sites in San Pablo Bay, two sites in Central San Francisco Bay, and three sites in South San Francisco Bay during water year 2005. Three types of optical sensors, each controlled by electronic data loggers, were used to monitor suspended sediment. Water samples were collected to calibrate the output of the optical sensors to SSC by using robust, nonparametric regression. Water-sample sediment-concentration data are available in the USGS Sediment Laboratory Environmental Database. Time-series data are available in the USGS sediment database and the USGS automated data-processing system database. The calculated SSC data are available from the USGS (accessed February 26, 2007).
