  abstract = {{C}oastal suspended sediment dynamics and distributions are driven by complex forces and factors mainly related to wind-wave, currents and tide actions which resuspend unconsolidated sediment in the water-seabed layer and/or rework sediment in the seabed. {U}nderstanding the suspended sediment dynamics and their time- and space distribution are prominent issues for better understanding sediment transport processes, and morphological changes. {R}eliable estimated values of suspended sediment concentration ({SSC}) are key values for reliable modeling of coastal sediment transport. {T}his study aims to investigate the spatial-temporal distribution of {SSC} along the west coast of the {V}ietnamese {M}ekong {D}elta forced by tides, currents and wind-wave factors which were generated during a strong activity of the southwest monsoon and extreme conditions caused by a tropical depression/storm circulation and thunderstorms. {O}ur results showed that coastal currents and wind-wave actions mainly drove the {SSC} distributions. {D}uring the 12-day field survey, a high-turbidity front existed parallel and close to the coast at an average distance of 5 km where water depths range from 2 to 5 m. {T}his front was likely related to the longshore drift current system which was partly captured by field survey data. {T}he mean {SSC} value over an area of 400 km2 was 80 mg/l, much larger than the values reported in numerical simulations or measurements elsewhere along the subaqueous {M}ekong {D}elta. {T}his led to a requirement for reassessment and reanalysis of coastal sediment dynamics based on numerical models and this dataset will serve as an important benchmark for improving the performance of numerical models.},
