The dynamics of submarine gravity currents

Esther Sumner has two new papers on the dynamics of field-scale submarine gravity currents in the Black Sea. Both studies made use of NERCs state-of-the-art autonomous underwater vehicle Autosub3 to measure the dynamics of the flow. A paper published in Geophysical Research Letters presents the first direct measurements of hydraulic jumps in an active submarine… Read More The dynamics of submarine gravity currents
