Abstract/Summary

Measurements describing the intratidal, spring-neap and seasonal variations of fine, cohesive, suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentrations at two sites (Calstock and Halton Quay) within the upper reaches of the Tamar Estuary, UK, are presented. The data were obtained using two, near-bed instrument packages. Correlations of daily-averaged SPM concentrations and fluxes with both runoff and tidal range during the separate deployments often showed a significant dependence on these variables. Where statistically significant, increasing tidal range led to enhanced SPM levels because of resuspension of bed sediments.
