The aim of our study is to improve the description of suspended sediment transport over wave ripples. We will first show the importance of sediment diffusivity with convective transfer (hereafter called) which is different from the sediment diffusivity associated to turbulent flux . It is possible to interpret concentration profiles, in semi-log plots, thanks to a relation between second derivative of the logarithm of concentration and derivative of (Absi, 2010). An analytical profile for will be presented and validated by experimental data obtained by Thorne et al. (2009) for medium sand. The proposed profile allows a good description of suspended sediment concentrations for fine and coarse sediments.
