Description
In situ continuous measurement of water velocity and flow direction at several stations in the Zeeschelde. more

Various monitoring programs (MONEOS, OMES) are being implemented along the Scheldt estuary to build up system knowledge and provide advice to administrators. Within these monitoring programs, the HIC measures numerous water quality parameters that increase insight into the physical, ecological and chemical functioning of the estuary. The measurements are carried out in the estuary itself, as well as at the edges of the system.

Scope
Themes:
Coastal studies (e.g. shores, estuaries), Physical > Currents - drift - dispersion - tracers
