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.

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: There are multiple sites measurements were taken at 1 km intervals along the jetty (J1-J7) from landward to seaward at a bearing of 85 deg E. Turbidity 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.
Statement: Analite NEP160 turbidity meter

Purpose
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.
