AufMod Sediment Parameters - WMS (EN)

Data were generated within the framework of the German Coastal Engineering Research Council project AufMod (¿Aufbau integrierter Modellsysteme zur Analyse der langfristigen Morphodynamik in der Deutschen Bucht¿ [¿Development of integrated model systems for the analysis of long-term morphodynamics in the German Bight¿], 01.11.2009-31.12.2012). Various sedimentological parameters processed as products for the German Bight area were calculated from interpolated grain size distributions: - "Median_Grain_Size": Median-Durchmesser (D50) der interpolierten Kornsummenkurve - "Mean_Grain_Size": Mittelwert des Korndurchmessers - "Sorting1": Sortierung after Trask (1932): sqrt(D75/D25) - "Sorting2": Sortierung after Folk and Ward (1957): (phi84-phi16)/4+(phi95-phi5)/6.6 - "Skewness": Skewness after Folk and Ward (1957): (phi16+phi84-2phi50)/2(phi84-phi16)+(phi5+phi95-2phi50)/2(phi95-phi5) - "Kurtosis": Kurtosis after Folk and Ward (1957): (phi95-phi5)/2.44(phi75-phi25) - "GSF_micrometer": content of sand fractions (half phi° intervals) [%], 63 to 2000 micrometers - "PredominantSandFractions": spatial distribution of sediment fractions with a coontent 50 % / 20 % - 50 %
