摘要：There has been a growing interest in the last decade in extracting
information on Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) from acoustic
backscatter in rivers. Quantitative techniques are not yet effective, but acoustic
backscatter already provides qualitative information on suspended sediments.
In particular, in the common case of a bi-modal sediment size distribution, corrected
acoustic backscatter can be used to look for sand particles in suspension
and provide spatial information on their distribution throughout a river crosssection.
This paper presents a case-study where these techniques have been
applied.
