The deep-sea macrobenthos on the continental slope of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea: a quantitative approach [PDF]

, 1999
As part of the ECOMARGE operation (J.G.O.F.S. France), macrobenthic assemblages in the Toulon Canyon were described and quantified on the basis of sampling carried out between 250 and 2000 m depth on the Mediterranean continental slope. Results show that

Internal Tide‐Driven Tracer Transport Across the Continental Slope [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020
AbstractThe role of the internal tide in driving tracer transport across the continental slope is examined using simplified layered theory, channel model experiments, and observational diagnostics of near shelf‐edge moorings. The effect of the internal tide is interpreted in terms of its Stokes' drift, which is separated into two distinct components: a

Simulation of Winter Deep Slope Convection in Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea)

Fluids, 2022
In wintertime, a high-density water forms on the shallow shelf in the vast Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea). The steep continental slope with deep canyons and cold winters in the area provide suitable conditions for the implementation of deep slope ...

Decoupling of the Surface and Bottom‐Intensified Antarctic Slope Current in Regions of Dense Shelf Water Export

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Antarctic Slope Current is guided by the topographic gradient of the Antarctic continental slope and creates a dynamical barrier between the continental shelf and the open ocean.

Updated checklist and identification of areas of endemism of benthic amphipods (Caprellidea and Gammaridea) from offshore habitats in the SW Gulf of Mexico

Scientia Marina, 2006
An updated checklist of the benthic amphipods associated with soft bottoms in the SW Gulf of Mexico has been made and the areas of endemism have been identified. Amphipods were collected in a depth interval of 25 to 3700 m during six cruises from 1994 to

Identifying the Frequency Dependent Interactions between Ocean Waves and the Continental Margin on Seismic Noise Recordings

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
This study presents an exploration into identifying the interactions between ocean waves and the continental margin in the origination of double-frequency (DF, 0.1−0.5 Hz) microseisms recorded at 33 stations across East Coast of USA (ECUSA) during ...

The establishment of Atlantic Water transport as a topographically trapped slope current off Scotland [PDF]

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013
Atlantic Water, with its origin in the western Atlantic, enters the Nordic Seas partly as a barotropic current following the continental slope. This water mass is carried across the Atlantic by the baroclinic North Atlantic Current (NAC).

Simulated density reorganization on the Weddell Sea continental shelf sensitive to atmospheric forcing [PDF]

Ocean Science
The strong Antarctic Slope Front in the southern Weddell Sea limits the present-day transport of modified Warm Deep Water (mWDW) onto the continental shelf and is associated with a characteristic V-shape in the density structure across the continental ...

Importance of fish species in the bottom and near-bottoml biotopes of the Far-Eastern Seas and Pacific waters of Russia

Известия ТИНРО, 2022
Importance of fish species in the benthal ichthyocoenoses (up to depths of 2000 m) is discussed for the Russian waters in the Far-Eastern Seas and adjacent North-West Pacific on the data of bottom trawl surveys conducted by Pacific Fish. Res.

Submarine slope failures along the convergent continental margin of the Middle America Trench [PDF]

, 2011
We present the first comprehensive study of mass wasting processes in the continental slope of a convergent margin of a subduction zone where tectonic processes are dominated by subduction erosion.
