Coupling of the Surface and Near-Bottom Currents in the Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Oceans, 2020 Coupling between the surface and near‐bottom currents in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) has been reported in many case studies. However, geographical variations of this coupling need more examination.

Bottom Current Modification of Turbidite Lobe Complexes [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Submarine lobes form at the distal end of sediment gravity flow systems and are globally important sinks for sediment, anthropogenic pollutants and organic carbon, as well as forming hydrocarbon and CO2 reservoirs.

Lateral variability of ichnological content in muddy contourites: Weak bottom currents affecting organisms' behavior. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Although bioturbation is commonly recognized in contourites, only a few studies have analyzed the ichnological content of these deposits in detail. These studies have mainly focused on meso-scale bigradational sequence (a coarsening upward followed by a ...

Prevalence of strong bottom currents in the greater Agulhas system [PDF]
, 2013 Deep current meter data and output from two high-resolution global ocean circulation models are used to determine the prevalence and location of strong bottom currents in the greater Agulhas Current system.

Deep-sea hiatuses track the vigor of Cenozoic ocean bottom currents
Geology, 2022 The deep-sea stratigraphic record is full of gaps. These hiatuses track changes in ocean circulation and chemistry, but determining their timing and causes has been limited by sparse data and incomplete knowledge of ocean gateway evolution in earlier ...

Analysis of mooring-observed bottom current on the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The bottom current is an important component of the three-dimensional ocean circulation, which is of significance for the safeties of ocean bottom engineering and facilities, the research on sediment and pollutant transports, and the ecological ...
