Reference Concentration for Shelf Sediment Transport Models

Abstract

My long-term goals are to advance understanding of sediment transport processes. In this context, the long-term goal of this project is to advance understanding of the reference concentration, i.e. concentration of suspended sediments at a small distance above the seafloor. The scientific interest is in relating this reference concentration to the forcing conditions of waves and currents. The new contribution in this effort is to observe the reference concentration using a new instrument MSCAT.
