Sediment Size Distribution in the Coastal Mixing and Optics Experiment

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to advance the dynamics of suspended sediments in the water column through the direct measurement of previously unmeasured quantities: size distribution of particles, settling velocity distribution, and the size-resolved sediment reference concentration established at the bed in response to fluid forcing.
