Fluid mud induced by periodic tidal advection and fine-grained sediment settling in the Yangtze estuary

This study presents in-situ observations of fluid mud in the Yangtze Estuary via a bottom tripod. Six occurrences of periodic fluid muds (F1-F6) were observed at high slack water, with suspended sediment concentration (SSC) exceeding 10 kg/m3. The thickness of the fluid mud varied across the six occ...
