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.

Discovering the Fine-Scale Morphology of the Gulf of Cádiz: An Underwater Imaging Analysis
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The dense and deep water flow that leaves the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic flows through the upper and middle slope of the Gulf of Cádiz as a powerful bottom stream that models and interacts with bathymetry.

Experiments on the dynamics of density currents [PDF]
, 2016 Density currents occur when fluid of one density propagates along a horizontal boundary into fluid of a different density. In dam reservoirs, density currents are the main transport mechanism for the incoming sediments and they play an important role in ...

Tidal dynamics on the North Patagonian Argentinean Gulfs [PDF]
, 2017 Semidiurnal (M2, S2, N2 and K2), diurnal (K1,O1 and P1) and quarter-diurnal (M4, MN4 and MS4) barotropic tides over the North Patagonian Gulfs of Argentina: San Matías, (SMG), Nuevo (NG) and San José (SJG) are examined using a regional numerical model ...

Enhanced bottom-ice algal biomass across a tidal strait in the Kitikmeot Sea of the Canadian Arctic
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2019 Sea ice algae are an important contributor of primary production in the Arctic ecosystem. Within the bottom-ice environment, access to nutrients from the underlying ocean is a major factor controlling production, phenology, and taxonomic composition of ...

Bottom-trapped currents as statistical equilibrium states above topographic anomalies [PDF]
, 2012 Oceanic geostrophic turbulence is mostly forced at the surface, yet strong bottom-trapped flows are commonly observed along topographic anomalies. Here we consider the case of a freely evolving, initially surface-intensified velocity field above a ...

Vertical structure of bottom Ekman tidal flows: Observations, theory, and modeling from the northern Adriatic [PDF]
, 2009 From September 2002 to May 2003, fifteen bottom‐ mounted, acoustic Doppler current profilers measured currents of the northern Adriatic basin. Tidal fluctuations at all seven of the major Adriatic frequencies were synthesized from a response tidal ...
