| description | The variations and dynamics of suspended sediment in the coastal waters around the Zhoushan Archipelago are complex due to strong tidal dynamics. This study aims to delineate the tide-induced variability of surface suspended sediment and reveal its mechanisms in the Zhoushan Archipelago based on Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) data. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) estimations through the ultraviolet wavelength atmospheric correction (UV-AC) algorithm and a tuned empirical inversion algorithm using extensive in situ measurements are presented. GOCI-processed remote sensing reflectance (<i>R<sub>rs</sub></i>) is validated using field data and is cross-validated with Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (L8/OLI) measurements, respectively. The estimated SSC is validated with independent datasets. The validations reveal that GOCI-processed <i>R<sub>rs</sub></i> is reasonable and that the GOCI-retrieved SSC is accurate and can be used to quantify SSC distributions and variations in the Zhoushan Archipelago. The variations of the SSC in the study area are closely related to the temporal variations of the tidal level. High SSCs often occur in the middle of ebb or flood tides due to large tidal discharge and high tidal velocity. Significant hourly variations of the SSC are mainly controlled by tidal forces. Dynamic mechanism analysis indicates that during neap and middle tides, the local high SSC is mainly attributed to the sediment resuspension process driven by tidal currents; in addition, during the spring tide, the variations of the SSC are simultaneously modulated by sediment resuspension and horizontal advection processes. |
