Internal wave breaking and dissipation mechanisms on the continental slope/shelf

KG Lamb - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Internal waves are important physical phenomena on the continental shelf/slope. They are
often very energetic, and their breaking provides an important dissipation and mixing …

Sediment resuspension and transport by internal solitary waves
