ABSTRACT=A 13h survey was performed on the 17th of September 2014 in the Rhine region
of Freshwater Influence (Rhine-ROFI) about 10 km downstream of the mouth of
the Rotterdam Waterway during calm weather conditions. Suspended Particle
Matter (SPM) measurements were performed during a full tidal cycle, near the
seabed, at neap tide, and samples were taken at 0.6 m above meter for
on-board analysis. The measurements were performed with (a) a LISST 100X submersible particle size analyzer,
(b) a LISST-HOLO a submersible digital holographic camera, (c) a home-made
underwater camera and (d) an on-board LabSFLOC2 video microscopy equipment that used in-situ collected
samples.
