From: Linking flow-stream variability to grain size distribution of suspended sediment from a satellite-based analysis of the Tiber River plume (Tyrrhenian Sea)

Figure 3

(a) Cells size distribution of the computational domain. Red circles show observation points position at the river mouth and 500 m from the river mouth. (b) Suspended sediment concentration ratio increases and then decreases during flood events. Colored lines display different duration of floods while continuous line and dashed shows, respectively, the propagation sediment at the river mouth and at the distance of 500 m. The location of the observation points is highlighted by red circles in the panel (a). (c) Along-stream velocity profile for the two flood discharges we consider in our work: 3-day flood (blue solid line) and 10-day flood (red dashed line). The downstream transect begins from the channel mouth and is positioned at the half channel width. Plots are generated by using MATLAB 7.1 http://uk.mathworks.com/products/matlab.
