Seasonal changes in coastal dynamics and morphological behavior of the central and southern Changjiang River delta

摘要

Seasonal changes in sea level, tidal range, wind, riverine discharges, nearshore SSC (suspended sediment concentration) and bed-level of intertidal flat at 4 different sites were shown. In addition, the statistical relationships between the dynamics and the behavior of the sediment Surface were examined. The average intertidal elevation seems negatively correlated to sea level While positively correlated to nearshore SSC.
