Abstract
The dynamics of fine sediment in Montevideo Bay were analysed based on the model results. The current-induced bottom shear stress results are relevant for representing the permanent suspended sediment concentrations, whereas the wave-induced bottom shear stress is fundamental for reproducing the main resuspension events during storm conditions. The suspended fine-sediment dynamics in the estuary are strongly controlled by the sediment exchange between the bed and water column, whereas inside Montevideo Bay, the dynamics are controlled mainly by advection of sediment originating from the nearby coastal area.
