Internal solitary waves induced deep-water nepheloid layers and seafloor geomorphic changes on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea
Internal solitary waves (ISWs) can cause strong seafloor sediment resuspension and induce
nepheloid layers in both shallow and deepwater environments. However, the roles of ISWs …

The role of internal waves in the late Quaternary evolution of the Israeli continental slope
Internal waves are widely present in world's oceans propagating in stratified ocean layers
such as the seasonal pycnocline. At continental shelves and slopes, breaking of internal …
