Key Points

The study aims to analyze the long-term variation and spatial distribution of suspended solids in Busan's coastal waters. It examines how these characteristics relate to distance from the Nakdong River.
Utilized 15 years of observational data from marine environmental monitoring in Busan.
Analyzed total of 672 observations of suspended solids at surface and bottom layers.
Calculated correlation coefficients between surface and bottom concentrations of suspended solids.
Average suspended solids concentrations were 6.97 mg/L at surface and 11.65 mg/L at bottom.
Overall correlation between surface and bottom concentrations was low (R² = 0.1038), though significant correlations were observed at individual sites.
The highest correlation (R² = 0.458) was found near the Nakdong River mouth, indicating river influence.

Analysis reveals the correlation and distribution of suspended solids influenced by river inputs in coastal waters.
