Abstract
A field measurement was carried out to elucidate fine sediment transport processes off the north-western shore of the Ariake Bay, Japan. Time series data analysis of hydrodynamic forcing and suspended sediment properties shows that the increments of suspended sediment concentration during a tidal cycle under spring tide condition are due to multi processes including both local resuspension by strong tidal current and advection effect of turbid water from near shore region. The field data also shows the variability in the suspended sediment properties such as settling velocity and particle size over a tidal cycle indicating relatively higher settling velocity during ebbing tide and finer median grain size during low tide.
