Climate politics and science in the media
But the media also inform the political debate. News reports can trigger parliamentarians to pose questions to the minister in charge or place topics on the political agenda. In a more indirect manner, media attention can put pressure on politicians to place topics on the agenda through grassroots support. The media reflects not only on the political and societal debate, but also influences it to a degree.
Summary The objective of this investigation is to verify the deficiencies that incorporate both modelled and measured suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) data in a tidal dominated area. For this purpose a tidal channel, in the North Sea, was considered as the case study. The profiles of SSC from a model were compared with those from the field, in which some dissimilarity was observed. Intensive investigations were carried out to detect that the most discrepancies occur in shallow parts of the area and also during the low velocities. The origin of the shortcomings in regard with the modelling and measuring technique are discussed.
