6.2 - Sensing, Observing, and Forecasting High Frequency Resuspension Events in Coastal Proximity (SOFREX)

Objective: The project objective is to couple sediment models that use accurate numerical representations of sediment dynamics with coastal optical modeling systems in order to accurately forecast the appearance and persistence of near-bottom turbidity layers and sediment resuspension events.
