Dual Behavior of Suspended Sediment Concentration in a Regulated River

Better understanding of suspended sediment transport processes allows for better management of both rivers and coasts. Based on field data and sediment transport energy theory, this study presents an analysis on the suspended sediment hysteresis in the Lower Tenryu River of Japan in connection to the channel carrying capacity of suspended sediment and morphological characteristics. The transpor...

Numerical Modeling of Suspended Sediment Transport Affected by Tidal Bore in Qiantang Estuary

PAN, C. and HUANG, W., 2010. Numerical modeling of suspended sediment transport in Qiantang River: an estuary affected by tidal bore. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(6), 1123–1132. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Study of suspended sediment transport in an estuary affected by tidal bore is important for coastal engineering and management because the tidal bore can cause strong sedime...

A Comparison of Selection at List Time and Time-Stratified Sampling for Estimating Suspended Sediment Loads

Time-stratified sampling of sediment for estimating suspended load is introduced and compared to selection at list time (SALT) sampling. Both methods provide unbiased estimates of load and variance. The magnitude of the variance of the two methods is compared using five storm populations of suspended sediment flux derived from turbidity data. Under like conditions, the SALT coefficient of varia...

Modeling Near-Surface Suspended Sediment Concentration in the English Channel

The present study investigates the performances of the three-dimensional multicomponent hydro-sedimentary model ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) to predict near-surface suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in the English Channel (western Europe). Predictions are assessed against satellite-retrieved observations from raw MODIS and MERIS images for the year 2008 characterized by the highe...
