Extended Data Fig. 5: Numerical model simulation of the transport of fine particles from the Susquehanna Flats in the Chesapeake Bay.
From: Chesapeake Bay acidification buffered by spatially decoupled carbonate mineral cycling
The model simulates suspended sediment concentration (SSC) at surface, mid-depth and bottom water in the bay after the initial release of sediment particles (diameter = 2 μm) from all water depths on the Susquehanna Flats. SSC is shown on a logarithmic scale. The initial concentration is set as 0.5 kg m-3 over the Susquehanna Flats and the release time is on 00:00:00 May 31th, 2016. The output snapshots are the concentrations 1 hour, 1 day, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days after the initial release of particles.
