Acoustic inversions for measuring boundary layer suspended sediment processes.
Although sound has been applied to the study of sediment transport processes for a number of years, it is acknowledged that there are still problems in using the backscattered signal to measure suspended sediment parameters. In particular, when the attenuation due to the suspension becomes significant, the uncertainty associated with the variability in the scattering characteristics of the sedi...
متن کاملMeasuring Suspended Sediment in Small Mountain Streams
The Author: ROBERT B. THOMAS is a mathematical statistician assigned to the Station's research unit studying the management of Pacific Coastal forests on unstable lands, and is stationed in Arcata, California. He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at California State University, Hayward (1967) and a master's degree in statistics at the University of California, Berkeley (1971). He joined...
متن کاملEffect of Suspended Sediment on Acoustic Detection Using Reverberation
The suspended sediment layer occupies the lower water column. Presence of the suspended sediments creates a volume scattering layer which affects acoustic detection. Understanding the acoustic effects of the suspended sediment layer leads to the development of acoustic sensors with capability to scan the seafloor and to detect ordnance such as sea mines. 2. Comprehensive Acoustic Simulation Sys...
متن کاملSystematic Sampling for Suspended Sediment
Because of high costs or complex logistics, scientific populations cannot be measured entirely and must be sampled. Accepted scientific practice holds that sample selection be based on statistical principles to assure objectivity when estimating totals and variances. Probability sampling--obtaining samples with known probabilities--is the only method that assures these results. However, probabi...
متن کاملInvestigation of suspended sediment transport using ultrasonic techniques
The results of the initial experimental studies involving the scattering of ultrasonic signals from canonical and nonanonical shaped suspended particles with known elastical qualities are reported. These results have formed the basis for the development of a numerical model for ultrasound propagation through low-concentration suspensions of sand particles.
