Sediment transport; LEO-15; Acoustic backscatterAbstract
The NOAA National Underseas Research Program at Rutgers University is establishing a Long-term Ecosystem
Observatory off New Jersey in 15 meters of water. As part of a bottom boundary layer study at this site, WHOI deployed a bottom
instrument frame during the winter of 1993-94. The bottom instrument carried a current meter, a vertical array of optical
back scattering sensors, temperature, pressure and conductivity sensors and an Acoustical Backscattering Sensor. The deployment
was partially successful as the acoustic system failed. The other instrumentation worked well for 3 weeks returning data on winter
conditions at the site. The extreme winter waves ended the experiment by tipping the instrument over on its side. The optical
instrumentation was calibrated with sediment from the site, and the results from the experiment presented.

Seagrass impact on sediment exchange between tidal flats and salt marsh, and the sediment budget of shallow bays
Donatelli, Carmine; Ganju, Neil K.; Fagherazzi, Sergio; Leonardi, Nicoletta (John Wiley & Sons, 2018-05-20)Seagrasses are marine flowering plants that strongly impact their physical and biological surroundings and are therefore frequently referred to as ecological engineers. The effect of seagrasses on coastal bay resilience ... -
Effect of roughness formulation on the performance of a coupled wave, hydrodynamic, and sediment transport model
Ganju, Neil K.; Sherwood, Christopher R. (Elsevier B.V., 2010-03-27)A variety of algorithms are available for parameterizing the hydrodynamic bottom roughness associated with grain size, saltation, bedforms, and wave–current interaction in coastal ocean models. These parameterizations give ...
