Field Measurement of Bottom-boundary-layer and Sediment-transport Processes in Support of the Strataform Shelf Dynamics and Plume Studies

Abstract

The global objective of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science involvement in the STRATAFORM program is to improve understanding of the spatially and temporally varying mechanisms that suspend, transport, and deposit sediment on the continental shelf in the vicinity of the mouth of the Eel River specifically and generally on continental shelves that are accumulating fine sediment.
