Abstract
A major part of land ocean interaction in the coastal zone consists of the transport of suspended particulate matter (SPM). Its mass balance is determined by the input from rivers, atmosphere and adjacent seas, by advective and diffusive fluxes, and by deposition and resuspension at the sea bottom. For the North Sea, a three-dimensional lagrangian model has been developed which includes all these components. It is driven by the actual atmospheric forcing, the tides and the baroclinic currents. Model results of SPM spreading and deposition for specific years are presented and compared with
in situ
observations and satellite images.
