Plume model sedimentation

Embedded in the circulation model, it provides a coupled physical-biogeochemical model of the Baltic Sea ecosystem as an example application. Several applications of the model system are discussed, covering process studies, such as currents in the western Baltic, river plumes, and sediment transport, but also long-term simulations of the ecosystem dynamics.

An artificial near seafloor sediment plume was created in August 1994 with DSSRS it was a kind of model collector called disturber. The schematic arrangement is summarized in Fig. 17.3. The disturber recovered 352 tons of deep-sea sediments...
