A Context Camera image shows fine-scale sinuous channel deposits here, but lacks the resolution to measure their width precisely. Channel-deposit width is more easily modified by erosion than meander wavelength, but channel-deposit width measurements are possible at many more sites than are meander wavelength measurements. Precise measurements at this location can test/validate meander wavelength width scalings.
