| Abstract: | This Dredging Operations and Environmental Research (DOER) Technical Note (TN) describes the effect of sediment deposition on water-level measurements taken via capacitance staff. During a field study, capacitance-type staffs used for wave measurement were buried by sediment. Analysis of this field data resulted in water-level minimums increasing through time. It was hypothesized that over time, the staffs were recording not the minimum water level but the increasing bed elevation. Laboratory experiments were designed to observe any effect of sediment burial on water-level measurements made using capacitance-type wave staffs. |
