Numerous ecological problems of continental shelf ecosystems require a refined knowledge of the evolution of suspended sediment concentrations (SSC). The present investigation focuses on the spatial and temporal variabilities of near-surface SSC in coastal waters of the English Channel (western Europe) by exploiting numerical predictions from the Regional Ocean Modeling System ROMS. Extending previous investigations of ROMS performances in the Channel, this analysis refines, with increased spatial and temporal resolutions, the characterization of near-surface SSC patterns revealing areas where concentrations are highly correlated with evolutions of tides and waves. Significant tidal modulations of near-surface concentrations are thus found in the eastern English Channel and the French Dover Strait while a pronounced influence of waves is exhibited in the Channel Islands Gulf. Coastal waters present furthermore strong SSC temporal variations, particularly noticeable during storm events of autumn and winter, with maximum near-surface concentrations exceeding 40 mg l1 and increase by a factor from 10 to 18 in comparison with time-averaged concentrations. This temporal variability strongly depends on the granulometric distribution of suspended sediments characterized by local bimodal contributions of silts and sands off coastal irregularities of the Isle of Wight, the Cotentin Peninsula and the southern Dover Strait.
The carried out measurement of waters flow and suspended sediment concentration in the river Wisłoka and the small water reservoir at Krempna constituted the basis of determination of conditions of suspended load transport at low water flow according to van Rijn’s criteria (1984). The results of measurements carried out in the river and in the reservoir permitted elaboration of profi les of suspended sediment concentration Ca on the reference level “a”. The reference level was established according to van Rijn’s methods. In the river the reference level was adopted as 0.5 of the diameter of the biggest particle, and in the water reservoir 0.01 of elevation in a given hydrometric vertical. Measurement were performed at a flow equalling 0.89 m3⋅s–1. Concentration Ca in the river in fi ve hydrometric verticals, determined from the concentration profile, ranged from 11.4 to 25.3 g⋅m–3. The concentration value, calculated according to van Rijn’s formula was within the range 11.2–36.5 g⋅m–3 and the average it was over 26% higher than that determined from the concentration profile. In the water reservoir concentration measurements were performed in appointed verticals in eight cross-sections. At a flow 0.89 m3⋅s–1 in the water reservoir critical bed shear velocities causing movement of bottom material will not be exceeded. The calculated stage transport parameter (T) equaled from –0.9961 to –0.9996 in particular verticals of cross-sections. With regard to the negative values of the stage transport parameter (T) it proved impossible to calculate concentration Ca in the reservoir by use of the van Rijn’s formula.
