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 …
