High-Resolution Measurement of Sediment Concentration in Convectively Unstable Sediment Clouds
Abstract
To understand the mechanics of convective sedimentation (CS) and develop state-of-the-art technology to observe those mechanics in the field. CS represents an intriguing new process that has the potential to change the way the way we think about delivery of riverine material to the continental shelf and beyond. Despite substantial indirect evidence, CS has not been observed directly in the field; most likely a result of existing instrument limitations.
