Ing. Christian Maushake 2-2 K2 Folie-Nr. 7 Particles in Europe 2

18 EMS 29 conclusion Clear signal of upstream transport in the magnitude of 5-7 tons / tide on two cross section in the area of the Ems barrier (Gandersum / ) cause: concentrations transported with flood (upstream) are higher than concentrations transported with ebb (downstream) The detected transportrates are in the same scale then the dredging volume Longitudinals are showing a very different view of SSC distribution during flood and ebb Due to high turbidity during ebbcurrent there was no more measurement possible upstream. There is a demand for operational methods to describe the complex conditions in the bottom boundary layer. Note: all statements are based on 4 (!) days measurements Dipl. Ing.
