The Streamer Sediment Trap

Abstract

This Technical Note describes a portable sediment trap, called the Streamer Trap, developed for measuring the longshore sediment transport rate in the surf zone. The trap has the general capability to measure transport rates of sand-sized particles moving in any uni-directional fluid flow. A description of the Streamer Trap as well as techniques for application to the surf zone are presented.
