Water Circulation, Sediment Transport, and Pollutant Dynamics in Southern Iberia Waters: A Review on Numerical Modelling Studies

Table 5

Measured [30] and computed sedimentation rates (SR, g/cm2 year) at 8 positions in the Albor n Sea. Measured [31] and computed particle fluxes (g/m2 s) for the lower water layer are also shown. Measurements correspond to the average value from two sediment traps located in the lower water layer (depths about 400 and 1000 m).
