Purpose
|
To determine the mechanisms driving the exchange of sediment between subitdal
and intertidal habitats, and to determine how resuspension from the bed is
affected by wetting and drying.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Flow velocities, salinity, temperature, depths, suspended sediment
concentrations; grain sizes in suspension and on the bed, bed porosity, water
content, and erodibility; wave characteristics.
|
|
|
Summary
|
Moorings to collect time-series data, and shipboard sampling during the
deployment to collect calibration samples for optical measurements of suspended
sediment concentration, and to sample bed sediment grain size and other
characteristics.

Notes
|
This activity is associated with I-D3-11-SF (recovery/redeployment of
instruments deployed on I-D1-11-SF)
