Abstract

Abstract Repetitive Landsat CCT data were used to monitor the motion of non-uniformly distributed suspended sediments in a New Zealand tidal basin. The movement of such suspended sediment was followed using all four MSS bands with non-uniformly distributed suspended sediment being differentiated from bottom features by the data from two satellite overpasses. As pan of this study penetration depths of 45-50±5 cm and 10-15 ±5 cm were found for channels MSS 5 and MSS 6 over the sediment-laden tidal inlet. The difference in penetration depths within each MSS band was ascribed to differing concentrations of uniformly distributed suspended sediments between the two overpasses.
