Observations and model of sediment transport near the turbidity maximum of the Upper St. Lawrence estuary / by P.F. Hamblin. : En13-5/88-42E-PDF

"The need to investigate the role of suspended sediments in the transport and fate of chemical contaminants in the St. Lawrence Estuary has led to the measurement of profiles of suspended sediments, horizontal current, temperature and salinity at an anchor station approximately 60 km downstream from the turbidity maximum. Hourly profiles over nearly three semi-diurnal tidal cycles reveal peaks of suspended sediment concentration following maximum flood and ebb currents at the bottom, whereas near the surface there is only one maximum in suspended sediment concentrations per tidal cycle. Observations of the distributions of suspended sediment and its horizontal flux suggest that local resuspension is the controlling factor at the measurement site"--Abstract.
