Based on tidal cycle measurements from the entrance of Jiaozhou Bay, Shandong Peninsula, eastern China, statistical relationships between the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and ADCP echo intensity output are established. Echo intensity data obtained during an ADCP survey along two cross-sections during a spring tidal phase were transformed into SSC data. The ADCP current velocity and SSC data were then used to calculate the flux of fine-grained sediment. The results show that net sediment transport at the entrance is directed towards the open sea, with an order of magnitude of 103 t per spring tidal cycle; hence, although Jiaozhou Bay is a low SSC environment, the tidally induced suspended sediment transport can be intense.
