How is one central grain size recovered from diverse data that may present mean, median and other graphical grain sizes?
The database adopts mean moment grain size as the standard for its measure of a sediment’s central grain size. Studies show that the median, Inman mean’, and Folk mean’ grain sizes fit this quite well for a wide variety of sediments. However mode grain sizes do not, and are not included in central grain size’.
