Table 1.

Station identifier, location, water depth, sediment texture and average mass of suspended mud. Percentage sand and mud (combined silt and clay) from cores collected during 2011 (OC477) with percentages for 2010 (EN486) in italics. The remaining percentage corresponds to gravel. Note the increase in sand fraction at stations WMS and EMS between 2010 and 2011. Suspended mud (combined 8 μm and 2 μm sediment classes) is the average concentration estimated by the model resuspension experiments integrated in the vertical.
