Brief description
The objective of the research reported in this thesis was to develop a technique to monitor the dynamics of sediments and nutrients entering the coastal ocean with river plumes associated with high intensity low frequency events (e.g. floods), using ocean colour remote sensing. The data collected included suspended sediment concentration (TSS) and turbidity profiles.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedTurbidity was measured by an Analite NEP160 turbidity meter. As the instrument is submerged into the water sample a beam of light scattered within a broad angle centred on 90 degrees is measured by a photomultiplier. The turbidity of the sample is then estimated in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) relative to standard solutions.
Notes
CreditUniversity of Sydney
During the 7-20 February 2004 field trip to Lucinda Jetty a number of sediment-related measurements were undertaken to study flood-induced suspended sediment transport in the Herbert River mouth and adjacent coastal waters. The data collected included vertical profiles of turbidity, fraction of organic matter in Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) and secchi Disk depth.
