Field Observations of Wave-Induced Streaming through a Submerged Seagrass (Posidonia Oceanica) Meadow

This paper reports the findings of a 2 week field campaign designed to study wave-induced flows within a meadow of Posidonia oceanica at water depth 9 m. Previous laboratory experiments suggest that waves induce a mean mass drift in the direction of wave propagation ("streaming") through s...
