Nepheloid Layer Measurements and Floc Model for OASIS

Abstract

The long-term goal of our research is to improve fundamental understanding and numerical representation of coastal sediment-transport processes. The scientific objectives of our proposal are as follows: * Implement a simplified floc model into a 3D, regional-scale numerical model for circulation and sediment transport (ROMS/CSTMS). * Measure detailed profiles of suspended sediment concentration and particle size in the bottom boundary layer (~bottom two meters), along with physical measurement of waves and currents.
