Abstract
Six Landsat TM imageries from 2001 to 2008 were used as the data source to identify the spatial and temporal variations of the suspended sediment concentration in surface waters of the Jiulongjiang Estuary and Xiamen Bay. The results showed: (1) The spatio-temporal distribution of suspended sediment concentration in Xiamen Bay are not only governed by river flow and tidal current, but also are affected by factors of wind and waves, which will change greatly in different seasons and regions; (2) There were two relative high concentration zones in different time in the whole Xiamen Bay, the first is in Haimen Island near and the second is in the shallow water area of the east sea of Xiamen; (3) In the Xiamen waters, SSC has strong seasonal variation; surface suspended sediment concentration distribution is different in different waters in a tidal cycle.
