Characteristics of the SPM at your locations (concentration, floc/particle size, organic fraction, mineralogy, ....)? Organic fraction : 2-10% Floc size : difficult to determine Particle size: only in lab (10 µm)
LISST measurementsalongthe estuary (Marchal, 2014)
Conclusions • High SPMC: • - imited knowledge on in-situ particle charactetistics • (limited instrumentation) • ambiguity of bacscattering signal • easy to solve in a vertical profile • difficult to solvewith one single probe
