Abstract In-situ floc size measurements were made in suspended matter of the Elbe and Dollard estuaries. Floc size was found to be generally smaller in the surface water than in the bottom water and varied systematically with time in relation to the tidal phase. Maximum floc size was also related to particle concentration and, in the Dollard, probably also to flow on and off the tidal flats. Salinity and the total organic matter content of the suspended matter played a minor or no role. Since flocs break up into uniform size distributions during sampling and analysis, Coulter counter particle size was about constant during the tidal cycle.
