25 Conclusion 1. Using the correlations from 13hrs data,model simulation during calm period is much better than storm period 2. The difference between SPM_LISST and SPM_OBS: the SPM measured by LISST follows current velocity better 3. The particle size becomes small (probably due to breakup mechanism of flocs) during high wave or fast current 4. Wave can lift mineral particles in suspension which can be caught by LISST Orbital velocity can be regard as the combined effect of current & wave Future improvement: orbital velocity may present the combined effect of wave & current, which can be to modify the model.
