DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.04.023
Abstract: Abstract Coastal zones, impacted by major rivers, comprise distinct environments, such as river plumes and bottom boundary layers (BBL). These environments are characterized by high nutrient concentrations and high microbial activities and thus offer favourable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019jc015284
Abstract: Oceanic density currents in many deep‐water channels are strongly influenced by the Coriolis force. The dynamics of the bottom‐boundary layer in large geostrophic flows, and low Rossby number turbidity currents, are very important for determining… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s1024856017020075
Abstract: In this paper, we studied the method for measuring the cloud bottom boundary altitude using the stereo pair of cloud images obtained using two digital photo cameras. We suggested a method for determining the camera… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-17-0264.1
Abstract: Weakly stratified layers over sloping topography can support a submesoscale baroclinic instability mode, a bottom boundary layer counterpart to surface mixed layer instabilities. The instability results from the release of available potential energy, which can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-19-0178.1
Abstract: The inner shelf is a region inshore of that part of the shelf that roughly obeys Ekman dynamics and offshore of the surf zone. Importantly, this is where surface and bottom boundary layers are in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jmse8040256
Abstract: The bottom friction velocity (U*), which controls seabed erosion and deposition, plays a critical role in sediment transport in tidal coastal bottom boundary layers. Approaches have been proposed to calculate U*, including the log profile… read more here.
