Field Observations of Artificial Sand and Oil Agglomerates
Data CatalogNOTE: ATRIS Pressure/Water Level DataProvided below is a link to the pressure data collected by the ATRIS system, along with the water depth from sensor (mounted at 1-m above the seafloor) to sea surface and total water depth from seafloor to sea surface. The raw pressure data were converted to NetCDF format (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) and pressure was converted to water depth as described in Data Processing. ATRIS Raw ImagesProvided below are links to the raw image files collected by the ATRIS camera system. Zip files contain all photos for each individual deployment. For each photo (in .jpg format), there is a corresponding text file (.bin) containing the time the image was taken.
Back to Top of Page Deployments in 1.5-meter Water DepthProvided below are links to movies created from images and pressure data collected by the ATRIS camera system. The movies contain processed image files, in which several images have been averaged to remove noise and the color range of the images expanded to increase contrast and improve the visibility of the aSOAs. Also shown is the time-series of water level attained from the pressure data, with a red dot indicating the time of the image currently displayed. The processing steps used to create these movies may be found on the Data Processing page.
Back to Top of Page Deployments in 0.5-meter Water DepthProvided below are links to movies created from video collected by the stadia rod mounted GoPro camera and pressure data collected by the ATRIS system. The movies contain processed image files, in which the color range of the images is expanded to increase contrast and improve the visibility of the aSOAs. Also shown is the time-series of water level variation attained from the pressure data, with a red dot indicating the time of the image currently displayed. The processing steps used to create these movies may be found on the Data Processing page. In these videos, the x-axis at the start of the video is in the cross-shore direction, although the camera was occasionally rotated slightly to keep the aSOAs in the field of view. Water level is derived from the pressure gauge at the ATRIS in 1.5-m of water, offshore of the 0.5-m site of the video, so increases in water level variation due to waves will have a lag in time before impacts would be observed in the video. The aSOA location was occasionally adjusted during the 1–2 minute deployments to position them more in the field of view. The 10-cm-scale bar displayed is approximate, because the camera was filming at an angle to the seafloor and has a fish-eye lens distorting the edges of the images.
Back to Top of Page Deployments in the Swash ZoneProvided below are links to two videos collected by the stadia rod mounted and handheld GoPro camera. These videos have undergone minimal processing as described on the Data Processing page. The deployment shown includes round and ellipsoidal aSOAs of size classes 3 and 4.
