Technical Note DOER-N4

May 1999

assume with some confidence that the sediment would be stable or mobile, respectively. The

obvious advantage of this grain-size depth of residence tool is that it can be applied quickly and

easily to estimate the depth of motion of sediments for given hydrodynamic conditions.
