Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the investigation of the influence of the irregular wave spectrum form on the regularities of the bottom suspension and formation of the bottom topographic microforms (ripples). It is shown that the vertical profile of the suspended matter concentration and the possible partial deformation of the bottom ripples are related to the peculiarities of the frequency distribution of the energy in the wave spectrum (at the constant energy of the process).
