Measurement of Sediment Transport Using Acoustics
Friday, February 8, 1991 4:00 p.m. Peter D. Thorne Birkenhead, Merseyside, U .K. The measurement of sediment transport is a critical parameter in marine studies. It has traditionally been difficult to accurately quantify, and recently acoustics has been applied to solve this problem. To monitor the bedload transport of marine gravels, caused by turbulent tidal…
