Purpose
|
|
The overall program long-term goal of STRATAFORM
|
|
is to advance our understanding of the development of stratigraphic units and
|
|
sequences on continental shelves and upper continental slopes. In this specific
|
|
project we will obtain high quality measurements of sediment transport in the
|
|
benthic boundary layer during energetic storms and during periods of high
|
|
sediment input from coastal rivers (floods) for use in developing and
|
|
testing models which predict the emplacement and modifications to discrete
|
|
depositional units.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Correlations of sediment resuspension from the bed with energetic waves and currents; estimates of bottom stresses due to combined flows of waves and currents; time-series temperature and salinity data near the seabed.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Time series (hourly) measurements of currents, waves, temperature,
|
|
salinity, and suspended sediment in the bottom boundary layer (from 20 cm to 120
|
|
cm above the seabed). Recovered GEOPROBE from W-4-96-NC.
