The Scottish continental slope current

Continental Shelf Research, 1983
Abstract A four-month record from a current meter mooring on the continental slope west of Scotland displayed a steady northward current of 0.16 m s−1 which appears to be associated with a core of warm light water normally observed over the shallow side of the slope. Although the tides change considerably between deep water and the continental shelf,

Western Ross Sea continental slope gravity currents

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2009
Antarctic Bottom Water of the world ocean is derived from dense Shelf Water that is carried downslope by gravity currents at specific sites along the Antarctic margins. Data gathered by the AnSlope and CLIMA programs reveal the presence of energetic gravity currents that are formed over the western continental slope of the Ross Sea when High Salinity ...

Sediment partitioning, continental slopes and base‐of‐slope systems

Basin Research, 2016
AbstractDeciphering the role slope topography plays in partitioning sediment on siliciclastic continental slope and base‐of‐slope systems helps our understanding of slope depositional processes in significant ways: (1) by validation of large‐scale depositional process models for continental margins, (2) by validation of numerical basin‐scale ...
