Optics, Acoustics, and Stress in a Nearshore Bottom Nepheloid Layer (OASIS)

Abstract

The long-term goal is to quantify and understand the effects of aggregation dynamics on the distribution of particles in the bottom boundary layer, and to understand how the properties of particles (composition, shape, and internal structure) affect their optical and acoustical properties.
