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 fine-grained sediment responds to turbulent stresses and how this packaging of sediment affects optical and acoustical properties in the water column.
