Storm-Induced Inner-Continental Shelf Circulation And Sediment Transport: Long Bay, South Carolina, John Warner, Charlene Silvester, Brandy Armstrong, George Voulgaris, Timothy Nelson, William Schwab, Jane Denny

George Voulgaris

Long Bay is a sediment-starved, arcuate embayment located along the US East Coast connecting both South and North Carolina. In this region the rates and pathways of sediment transport are important because they determine the availability of sediments for beach nourishment, seafloor habitat, and navigation. The impact of storms on sediment transport magnitude and direction were investigated during the period October 2003–April 2004 using bottom mounted flow meters, acoustic backscatter sensors and rotary sonars deployed at eight sites offshore of Myrtle Beach, SC, to measure currents, water levels, surface waves, salinity, temperature, suspended sediment concentrations, and bedform morphology. Measurements identify …
