Abstract
Proceedings include 19 papers examining the problems of sampling and concentrating suspended materials and of in situ instrumentation. The contributors delineate the results of nearshore and offshore studies, including the effect of tropical storm Agnes on suspended solids in the northern Chesapeake Bay and turbidity distribution in the deep water of the Western Atlantic Trough. There are also thorough treatments of principles underlying the study of settling velocities of suspended materials and of theories of various optical techniques employed in this research. Following is a list of titles and authors of the papers presented: Principles of Studying Suspended Materials in Water. By Ronald J. Gibbs. Stokes' Settling and Chemical Reactivity of Suspended Particles in Natural Waters. By Abraham Lerman, Devendra Lal and Michael F. Dacey. Beam Transmissometers for Oceanographic Measurements.
