ABSTRACT

Considering the requirements of Chinese offshore ports and marine oil and gas exploitation on marine environment assurance, the project sets the establishment of the monitoring and forecast system for sediment transport and deposition and coast and beach stabilization and sudden deposition brought about by storm as one of its main focuses. In order to achieve such purpose, site investigation is conducted for sediment transport during spring-neap tides for Tianjin Port on the basis of the stereo monitoring system for offshore marine dynamic environment in Bohai Gulf, so as to gain a comprehensive understanding of the sediment concentration and distribution in entrance and export of Tianjin Port, grasp basic marine current knowledge by investigation and provide data foundation for numerical Model construction. Implementing institution of the project conducted field investigation for marine current and suspended sediment concentration of the given station in August and November 2010 respectively. Relevant computation and analysis are conducted according to the measurement results after the investigation.
