| Abstract |
A 3D approach is recommended for turbidity/SPM monitoring, since the variability can be high. In TURBEAMS, we want to build on the TIMBERS results by coupling the acoustic instruments of the RV Belgica to the sampling-capacity. This will result in a number of correlation equations (depending on among other season and location) which will allow the transformation of multibeam backscatter values into characteristics of SPM and/or turbidity. |
