Zusammenfassung:The present experimental research looks for ways to improve fine sediment transport measurements with ADV by further investigating the factors influencing the backscatter intensity of the acoustic wave. The optimal instrument settings are determined in order to maximally extend the region of increasing response to fine suspended sediments in the sampling volume and a spectral correction is used to obtain turbulent sediment concentration fluctuations.
