Abstract The radial sand ridges found off the coast of Jiangsu (China) are major morphological features in the southern Yellow Sea and undergo rapid changes in morphology. Despite extensive observational and modeling efforts, the physical processes controlling sediment transport and associated morphological evolution over the ridges remain not well understood. Here we analyzed data collected from systematic hydrodynamic and sedimentary surveys including records from moorings and bottom-mounted tripods deployed at channels and adjacent ridges. We explored the role of advection and local resuspension processes in controlling morphological changes and how they are modulated by tidal asymmetry. Bottom shear stresses due to mean tidal currents, waves, and wave-current interactions were estimated to examine the effects of tidal asymmetry, advection and resuspension processes on suspended sediment concentration (SSC) variability. The simplified depth-averaged model of Bass et al. (2002) was used to explain the phase relationships between fine sediment suspensions and tidal currents. We found that resuspension is the major controlling factor of bottom SSC during mean and spring tides, while advection is the dominant process during neap tides. The asymmetries in water level and tidal current lead to a net lateral sediment transport directed from the channel to the sand ridges, which cause erosion in channels and deposition on the sand ridges. This sediment transport pattern likely contributes to the evolution of the sand ridges under fair weather conditions (i.e., excluding storm events).

南黄海河道和沙脊之间的沉积物交换:潮汐不对称的重要性

摘要 江苏沿海发现的放射状沙脊是黄海南部的主要形态特征,形态变化迅速。尽管进行了大量的观测和建模工作,但对控制沉积物运输和山脊上相关形态演化的物理过程仍不清楚。在这里,我们分析了从系统的水动力和沉积调查中收集的数据,包括来自部署在渠道和相邻山脊上的系泊设备和底部安装的三脚架的记录。我们探讨了平流和局部再悬浮过程在控制形态变化方面的作用以及潮汐不对称性如何调节它们。估计由平均潮汐流、波浪和波浪-流相互作用引起的底部剪切应力,以检查潮汐不对称性的影响,对悬浮泥沙浓度 (SSC) 变化的平流和再悬浮过程。Bass 等人的简化深度平均模型。(2002) 被用来解释细颗粒悬浮物和潮汐流之间的相位关系。我们发现,在平均潮和大潮期间,再悬浮是海底SSC的主要控制因素,而平流是小潮期间的主导过程。水位和潮汐流的不对称导致从河道到沙脊的净横向沉积物输送,这导致河道侵蚀和沙脊上的沉积。这种沉积物运输模式可能有助于在晴朗的天气条件下(即不包括风暴事件)沙脊的演变。Bass 等人的简化深度平均模型。(2002) 被用来解释细颗粒悬浮物和潮汐流之间的相位关系。我们发现,在平均潮和大潮期间,再悬浮是海底SSC的主要控制因素,而平流是小潮期间的主导过程。水位和潮汐流的不对称导致净横向沉积物从河道导向沙脊,这导致河道侵蚀和沙脊上的沉积。这种沉积物运输模式可能有助于在晴朗的天气条件下(即不包括风暴事件)沙脊的演变。Bass 等人的简化深度平均模型。(2002) 被用来解释细颗粒悬浮物和潮汐流之间的相位关系。我们发现,在平均潮和大潮期间,再悬浮是海底SSC的主要控制因素,而平流是小潮期间的主导过程。水位和潮汐流的不对称导致从河道到沙脊的净横向沉积物输送,这导致河道侵蚀和沙脊上的沉积。这种沉积物运输模式可能有助于在晴朗的天气条件下(即不包括风暴事件)沙脊的演变。我们发现,在平均潮和大潮期间,再悬浮是海底SSC的主要控制因素,而平流是小潮期间的主导过程。水位和潮汐流的不对称导致从河道到沙脊的净横向沉积物输送,这导致河道侵蚀和沙脊上的沉积。这种沉积物运输模式可能有助于在晴朗的天气条件下(即不包括风暴事件)沙脊的演变。我们发现,在平均潮和大潮期间,再悬浮是底部SSC的主要控制因素,而平流是小潮期间的主导过程。水位和潮汐流的不对称导致从河道到沙脊的净横向沉积物输送,这导致河道侵蚀和沙脊上的沉积。这种沉积物运输模式可能有助于在晴朗的天气条件下(即不包括风暴事件)沙脊的演变。
