Sedimentary processes in the bottom boundary layer of a contourite drift in the northern South China Sea

Ocean dynamic processes in the bottom boundary layer (BBL) are crucial for sedimentation, such as deposition and resuspension of marine sediments. In this study, we conducted in-situ tripod observations of the sediment ridge of a contourite drift in the northern South China Sea to understand the mai...
