The project will be organized around 4 scientific objectives :
- The first scientific objective will be to produce a general scattering model for the MicroStructures formed by Passive Additive Quantities in turbulent conditions
- Then, we will focus on the discrimination of the amplitude and phase contributions of the solid and fluid flow phases embedded in the backscattered echoes
- With the third objective, we’ll try to qualify and quantify the resulting uncertainty on the instantaneous and net flux estimates
- The final objective concerns the investigation of the influence of the interplay between turbulence-particle and particle-particle interactions on the sediment flux dynamics
3 Work Packages have been designed to meet these 4 objectives.
