Field measurement of suspended sediment concentration(SSC) using ADP and OBS was carried out in the Changjiang(Yangtze) Estuary during the spring and neap tides on June,6-12,2005.(1) In the horizontal direction,the curves of SSC by ADP and OBS changed in phase,respectively.Nevertheless,the curves of ADP were smoother than that of OBS.(2) In the water column,the change in SSC by ADP and OBS increased from the surface to near the bed,but the range of change depended on the different tidal phases and water layers.(3) The average relative errors of SSC by ADP and OBS were no more than 20%.(4) The SSC by ADP and OBS,the amplitude of signal and NTU had close correlation,respectively.Therefore,OBS can be used to study the changes in SSC near the sensor which has high precision.ADP can be used to study the changes in SSC and can obtain the information of current profiles in synchrony without interference in the surrounding environment in the field.Calibration of the OBS was made using the water samples obtained from the different tidal phases,and then the OBS was used to calibrate the ADP.This method could not only reduce the working load in the field,but also ensure the precision of SSC by ADP.The results of ADP and OBS can be validated each other.Thus,the combining observation by ADP and OBS is a way of efficiency and credibility for studying the changes in SSC and the suspended sediment transport processes.
