Sediment Transport Data from July 2023 to November 2024, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona

We measured sediment flux using a Sensit saltation sensor and a set of three Big Spring Number Eight (BSNE) passive sediment samplers, at 20, 50, and 100 cm above ground level (AGL). The samplers are weighing BSNEs (wBSNE) that automatically weigh, and log accumulated sediment weight. The Sensit and wBSNE data were taken once per second, then averaged and logged at one-minute intervals.
