- (1)
- During the neap and middle tides, the SSC often increases rapidly in the middle of ebb tide because stronger tidal currents enhance vertical mixing and the resuspension of bottom sediments (Figure 7a). However, in the middle of flood tide, the suspended sediment shows landward movement (Figure 7g), which may be attributed to horizontal sediment advection [3,48]. The minimum value of the SSC appears approximately 1.0–1.5 h after high slack water. The local high SSCs in the Guanmen Channel and Guishan Hangmen Channel during ebb tide are controlled by a tidal resuspension process of bed sediments.
- (2)
- During the spring tide, the SSC shows a pattern with two peaks, corresponding to the middle of ebb and flood tides, respectively, which is different from that during neap and middle tides. The range of dh/dt is more than two times those during the neap and middle tides, and the current velocities are larger. During both ebb tide and flood tide, the resuspension of bottom sediments and horizontal advection become the dominant factors that govern the variations of the SSC. Therefore, the variations of the SSC during the spring tide period are mainly controlled by bottom sediment resuspension and horizontal advection processes in most regions.
