Sandwave migration in Monterey Submarine Canyon, Central California
Repeated high-resolution multibeam bathymetric surveys from 2002 through 2006 at the head of theMonterey Submarine Canyon reveal a sandwave field along the canyon axis between 20 and 250 m water depth. These sandwaves range in wavelength from 20 to 70 m and 1 to 3 m in height. A quantitative measure was devised to determine the direction of sandwave migration based on the asymmetry of their pro...
متن کاملInternal bore seasonality and tidal pumping of subthermocline waters at the head of the Monterey submarine canyon
This study utilizes more than a year of observations made in shallow waters ( 30 m) at the head of the Monterey Submarine Canyon to assess variability in the physical environment and internal bore field. The interaction of the internal tide with the canyon rim results in a semidiurnal tidal period pumping of cold–water masses (subthermocline waters) onto the adjacent shelf (i.e., internal bores...
متن کاملBioluminescence in the Monterey Submarine Canyon: image analysis of video recordings from a midwater submersible
Video images of biohiminescence were recorded in situ during a 1985 study of the midwater environment of the Monterey Canyon, using a single-person, untethered submersible. Gelatinous organisms were responsible for the most brilliant bioluminescent displays, often exhibiting elaborate kinetics in response to mechanical stimulation. Images of bioluminescent displays recorded from identified orga...
متن کاملPeriodic Resuspension in Baltimore Canyon by Focusing of Internal Waves
High concentrations ofparticulate matter are frequently reported in submarine canyons. This study demonstrates that in Baltimore submarine canyon, elevated concentrations result from periodic resuspension events. The sloping bottom and V-shaped topography of submarine canyons could accelerate tidal flows in the canyon axis sufficiently to cause resuspension, which occurs predominantly at tidal ...
متن کاملIdentification of Temporal Shifting Trends of Submarine Indus Canyon, Pakistan
Indus Canyon is one of the most prominent sub-aqueous features of the Indus Delta. Indus River, originating from the Manasarovour Lake, hosting at the foot of high Himalayan Mountains Glaciers, forms a huge delta after travelling more than 300 km at the north eastern coastline of the Arabian Sea. In view to assess the temporal geomorphic change associated with the Indus Canyon, a study has been...
