Abstract
Surface and bottom inorganic and organic suspended loads in the Menai Straits were correlated with those hydrographical and meteorological elements which were considered to have an influence on them. Surface inorganic loads correlated significantly with tidal range, water temperature (negatively) and run of wind. This latter factor did not correlate so highly with the bottom inorganic fraction. Significant correlations were evident between surface and bottom organic loads and tidal range. The correlations between turbidity, as measured by Secchi disc, and the suspended sediment load were also investigated.
