Description:Analysis of 142 sediment samples from Pamlico Sound and associated estuaries indicates that grain size distributions reflect: 1) the proportion of sediment transported by suspension, traction, and saltation; 2) the grain size limits for each population; and 3) the type of energy source, waves or currents. Sediment finer than 3.3 phi was transported in suspension. Sediments ranging in grain size from 3.3 phi to 1.5 phi were transported by saltation. Sediments between 1.5 phi and 0.8 phi were transported either by saltation or traction. Sediments coarser than 0.8 phi were usually transported as the traction load.
