Coastal Benthic Boundary Layer Special Research Program: A Review of the First Year. Volume 1.

Abstract

The coastal benthic boundary layer special research program (CBBLSRP) is a 5-year Office of Naval Research program that addresses the physical characterization and modeling of benthic boundary layer processes and the impact of these processes on seafloor structure, properties, and behavior. In volume I of this report, we present preliminary results from the first years' experiments that were conducted on the gas-rich soft sediments of Eckernfoerde Bay (Baltic Sea) and on the sandy sediments of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Year-end reports for the 21 projects supported by the CBBLSRP are included along with a summary of the first years' accomplishments. Volume 11 will include four updated cruise reports along with sample descriptions, locations, and maps that will be provided for reference. Acoustics, Sediments, Mines.
