From: Deep-sea Sediment Resuspension by Internal Solitary Waves in the Northern South China Sea
The water column structure of the ISW with a surface expression at “A” in Fig. 1. The data were collected over a period of approximately 2 h using a hull-mounted multibeam swath bathymetric system as the ship moved along the transect to intercept the incoming trans-basin ISW. The ISW packet propagated along the thermocline approximately 200 m in the form of a large depressional wave. The suspended sediment concentration (SSC) profile was measured by a SBE9/11 plus CTD with an RBR concerto Tu sensor 10 m above the seafloor.
