Validation of morphodynamic models at the process level is inherently difficult to achieve because techniques for measuring bedload and/or suspended load sediment transport are extremely equipment-and time-intensive and, in the case of bedload transport, arguably near impossible. 1, record 1, English, - morphodynamic%20model

Hypopycnal flow is associated with a lower river water density entering a higher density standing water density in the basin. Under these conditions, the river water will flow out over the standing water gradually depositing the suspended clay portion of the sediment load to the prodelta. 4, record 3, English, - hypopycnal%20flow
