Abstract

We present a new method for using temperature to infer bathymetric change of an artificial beach placed in the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory Large Wave Flume at Oregon State University. The temperature latency technique compares recorded temperature measured within the sediment with modeled temperatures expected to result from surface water temperature changes through time. Because surface-driven temperature changes are attenuated and lagged in time with deeper burial, we can estimate depth of burial by examining the time series of temperatures measured within the sediment relative to surface temperatures. Temperatures are recorded at more than 900 cross-shore locations across two depths using a fiber optic distributed temperature system (DTS) and at 2 cross-shore locations at two depths using stacked point thermocouples for DTS verification.

Data will be available in October 2021 by request from ctemps@unr.edu.

Basic components of study

Site: O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory Large Wave Flume

DTS: Silixa Ultima

Cables: BRUsens temperature 85°C, armored with 12 stainless steel wires, 3.8 mm outside diameter, red PA jacket, stainless steel loose tube, 2 multimode fibers, 2 single mode fibers, length ~545 m

AFL Flat Drop, 5 x 8.5 mm cable, black jacket, two strength members, gel-filled buffer tube, 2 multimode fibers, original length: ~250 m, length after cable cut during Brugg cable install: ~224 m

Resolution: Temporal: Traces over 5 minute periods(7/24-9/23/2019); Spatial: 0.1271 m

Calibration baths: + Cold bath was a chest freezer set on warmest setting running 2 hours at a time every 8 hours (7/23/2019 - 7/29/2019); 1 hour at a time every 8 hours (7/29/2019 - 9/16/2019); constantly running resulting in frozen coil (9/16/2019 - 9/23/2019). Freezer was filled with water with the cables wrapped in figure eights around four posts, an RBR soloT, PT100 connected to DTS, and a bubbler.

  • Heated bath was a 90 qt cooler filled with water with the cables wrapped in figure eights around four posts, an RBR soloT, PT100 connected to the DTS, and a bubbler; heater was set for a constant output to keep the bath at 30°C.

  • Ambient bath was a 90 qt cooler filled with water with the cables wrapped in figure eights around four posts, an RBR soloT, and a bubbler. Due to severing the flat drop cable during installation of the brugg cable, there is no data for the flat drop cable in the ambient bath.

Points of interest along cables:
