Abstract

AbstractThirty-nine samples of suspended sediment from the meltwater stream of Austre Okstindbreen, Norway, were analysed using both moments and parameters of the hyperbolic distribution. The samples turned out to be non-normally distributed. No direct correlation was found between discharge and grain-size distribution, but it is supposed that the hydraulic influence is hidden behind factors like composition of morainic or stream-bed material. Through comparison of the grain-size parameters from two periods in the field season, it was possible to distinguish between two sediment populations.
