A review of the role of submarine canyons in deep-ocean exchange with the shelf
SE Allen, X Durrieu de Madron - Ocean Science, 2009 - os.copernicus.org
Cross shelf-break exchange is limited by the tendency of geostrophic flow to follow
bathymetric contours, not cross them. However, small scale topography, such as canyons …
