Optics, Acoustics, and Stress in a Nearshore Bottom Nepheloid Layer

Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop greater understanding of the how the flocculation of finegrained sediment responds to turbulent stresses and how this packaging of sediment affects optical and acoustical properties in the water column.
