Benthic Turbulence and Mixing Induced by Nonlinear Internal Waves
Abstract
The long term goal of this work is to develop a fundamental understanding and predictive capability of the underlying physics of the interaction of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) with the continental shelf seafloor over a broad range of environmental conditions. We are particularly interested in how such interactions impact underwater optics and acoustics and shelf energetics and ecology by stimulating enhanced benthic turbulence and bottom particulate resuspension.
