Turbulence Measurement in the Benthic Boundary Layer Following a Storm: Influence on Sediment Resuspension and Rate of Deposition
Abstract
The principal objective of this work is to contribute to the development of effective remote autonomous mine countermeasure operations by providing pertinent flow, heat flux and sediment transport characteristics in the benthic boundary layer to missions engaged in sea mine reconnaissance and hunting. These environmental characteristics govern acoustic and light propagation, chemical and biogenic activity in the bottom boundary layer, distribution of sediment over a buried mine and other physical processes, knowledge of which is critical to the effective performance of acoustical, chemical or other sensory-based methods for mine detection and MCM operations.
