The Yellow River water and sediment regulation experiment in 2005 caused a significant increase in sediment flow into the sea. The study used numerical simulations and satellite images to show that the sediment flux rose due to terrain and jet flow effects. Sediment from the estuaries formed distinct patterns, with the most impact seen within 20-40km of the estuary center. Wind played a crucial role in driving the diffusion of suspended sediment, influencing its direction and amount.
