Aerial orthomosaic photo of Whale's Tail Marsh south in May 2022

Aerial orthomosaic photo of Whale's Tail Marsh south (WTMS) in May 2022 with marsh-edge boundary drawn in orange at elevation of the scarp head contour. The green line is the location of an example cross-sectional transect (shown in Figure 2), but is artificially lengthened for legibility. (b) Map of South San Francisco Bay, with red indicating the location of WTMS and blue indicating location of the NOAA Redwood City Tide Gauge and Met Station. The black arrow is aligned with the most common wind direction during spring and summer seasons. (c) Photograph from atop the marsh surface on 19 May 2021 11:58 a.m. PDT, showing the relationship between high-marsh platform, steep scarp edge, crenulated coastline, and fronting mudflats. The photo was taken approximately 50 m south of the green transect in panel (a), facing southwards.
