Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slope. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2014 The Antarctic continental shelves and slopes occupy relatively small areas, but, nevertheless, are important for global climate, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Halocline water modification and along-slope advection at the Laptev Sea continental margin [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 A general pattern in water mass distribution and potential shelf–basin exchange is revealed at the Laptev Sea continental slope based on hydrochemical and stable oxygen isotope data from the summers 2005–2009. Despite considerable interannual variations,

Topographic Waves over the Continental Slope [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1988 Abstract Current meter data taken during a one-year period over the continental slope and upper rise in three cross-isobath sections have been examined for energy distribution, coherence, and phase propagation of topographic waves. A peak at 15 days is present in the energy preserving spectrum of the near-bottom currents on the rise and slope.

Convection above the Labrador continental slope [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2005 The Labrador Sea is one of the few regions of the World Ocean where deep convection takes place. Several moorings across the Labrador continental slope just north of Hamilton Bank show that convection does take place within the Labrador Current.

Free gas accumulations in basal shear zones of mass-transport deposits (Pearl River Mouth Basin, South China Sea): An important geohazard on continental slope basins [PDF]
, 2017 Free gas is an important trigger of instability on continental slopes, and resulting mass-wasting strata can potentially form competent seals to hydrocarbon accumulations.

Exploring Benthic Biodiversity Patterns and Hotspots on European Margin Slopes [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 There is increasing evidence that continental slope ecosystems represent one of the major repositories of benthic marine biodiversity. The enhanced levels of biodiversity along slopes are hypothesized to be a source of biodiversity for continental ...

Transformation of an Agulhas eddy near the continental slope [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 The transformation of Agulhas eddies near the continental slope of southern Africa and their subsequent self-propagation are analyzed in both observational data and numerical simulations. Self-propagation results from a net dipole moment of a generalized

Deep Convection Along the Continental Slope in the East/Japan Sea: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Sparse observations in the East/Japan Sea (EJS) suggested that open-ocean deep convection occurs south of Vladivostok; however, more recent observations suggest that deep convection occurs along the continental slope, resulting in bottom water formation ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Significant current velocity near the sea bottom can be induced by internal waves, even for water a few hundred meters in depth. In this study, a nonhydrostatic ocean model was applied to simulate the generation and propagation of internal waves on the ...
