Discrete Sampling of Bedload and Suspended Load

  • Chapter
Nearshore Sediment Transport

Abstract

This aspect of the program included the development of fluorescent sand tracer and suspended sediment sampling devices and procedures for their use in measuring the transport rate of sand. These devices and procedures were employed at Torrey Pines Beach and at Leadbetter Beach.
