A study of turbulence in the viscous sublayer and logarithmic region of the bottom boundary layer

Detailed current profiles between the sediment-water interface and 20 cm above it reveal a viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary layer on the Oregon continental shelf. Data from three field experiments are used to test fundamental assumptions about boundary layer flow in the ocean. The first study...
