Figure 2. Comparison of simulated data to profiles collected by Wright (1999).
Figure 3 compares predicted and measured time series of near-bed
suspended sediment concentrations during the deployment. The agreement is
generally good over the duration of the time series, providing further validation
of the model in addition to vertical profiles of concentration.
