文摘
- •
Oceanographic information is given for North Atlantic contourite environments.
- •
Current-induced bedforms are used for estimating maximum near-bottom current speed.
- •
Extreme bottom current events are often not captured by measurements.
- •
Cascading of dense water is an important process in counter current activity.
