WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node 3.2.1 - Plume Characteristics (Field) - Overall

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

A field program was undertaken to collect in situ total suspended solids (TSS) concentration and coincident optical data. These data have been used to: • Develop and test relationships between surface reflectance and TSS, leading to the development of remote sensing algorithms applicable to MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Landsat and WorldView-2 satellite data. • Develop a model of spectral attenuation of light in turbid waters as a function of TSS. This model has been applied to MODIS TSS data to produce maps of relative light intensity at the substrate. • Provide inputs to, and to help validate, modelling of plume dynamics, reported in Sun et al. (2017).
