Measuring the Spatial Distribution of Ripples Using REMUS AUV

Abstract

The long term goal of this work is to increase our understanding of bedform geometry and processes associated with bedforms on the continental shelf. To do this we have been developing novel measurement techniques, conducting observations of both the spatial and temporal variability of ripples and developing a variety of model approaches.
