Sediment Transport in the Quanzhou Bay

Abstract:

Observations on 6 ship moorings during the spring and neap tides show that the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) changed according to the variation of the local tidal forcings under the normal weather conditions. During the neap tide, the measured concentration of suspended sediment is comparable to that of Jinjiang River, the only external sediment source in the course of observations; while during the spring tide, the observed SSC is one order higher than that of Jinjiang, meaning that relative to the riverine impact, the tidal current is more probably responsible for the sharp variation of SSC between the spring and neap cycle.
