Sediment Plots

Sediment samples represented in the plots found here were collected along profile line 230 on 15 October 1990. Beach samples were scraped from the top layer of the beach face. Offshore samples were collected with a clamshell grab sampler by a person atop the Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB) deck. The samples were then washed, dried, split, and sieved for analysis of grain size and sorting. The sieving was done with a sonic sifter, which sorts the sediments through small diameter sieves using high-frequency vibrations. The plots indicate the cross- and longshore location and depth from where the sediment was sampled, the standard statistics, as well as the distribution of sediment grain size.

Sediment plots files are labelled with the word "sedsmp" followed by the sample number. The number refers to the sample location along profile line 230 as indicated in full DELILAH report.
