The Response of Turbidity Maximum to Peak River Discharge in a Macrotidal Estuary

The Response of Turbidity Maximum to Peak River Discharge in a Macrotidal Estuary

The Ou River, a medium-sized river in the southeastern China, is examined to study the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) response to rapidly varied river discharge, i.e., peak river discharge (PRD). This study analyzes the difference in ETM and sediment transport mechanisms between low-discharge and...
