Benthic Resuspension by Internal Wave Stimulated Global Instability
Abstract
The goal of this work is to contribute toward an understanding of how long internal waves on the shelf region affect the optical properties of the water column and to issues related to remote sensing of the coastal ocean. Our work is directed toward providing a mechanistic understanding of and a predictive basis for processes whereby long internal waves interact with and stimulate resuspension from the bottom boundary. We also seek to provide insight regarding the effect of long internal waves on the vertical distribution of particulates, etc. in the water column and how they impact remote sensing of motions and processes on the shelf region.
