Evaluation of sediment traps in Lake St. Clair, Lake Ontario, and in Hamilton Harbour / F.M. Boyce [and three others].: En13-5/89-09E-PDF
"Sediment traps are simple, inexpensive devices that yield time—integrated samples of material suspended in the water column. Although many different designs have been proposed, there seems to be general agreement that‘ the cylindrical settling tube is a design capable of yielding quantitative results in (Bloesch and Burns 1980, Gardner 1980a,b) for relatively calm waters. The reliability of these or any other trap in shallow water with significant wave orbital motions is unknown. This paper describes our attempts to assess the field performance of conventional settling tubes and two versions of horizontally-ported chambers in shallow, wave—dominated water"--Abstract.
