Short summary
Combining long-term measurements, ocean modelling, and machine learning, we investigated the processes controlling suspended particulate matter concentrations in a Wadden Sea basin. Winter concentrations are shaped mainly by wind and tides, while biological activity exerts stronger influence in spring and summer. The study also reveals different short-term dynamics at shallow and deep sites, improving interpretation of long-term coastal observations.
