Abstract

Describes near-bottom velocity profiles in 85 m water depth during a storm on the continental shelf off northern California in December 1979. The repeated occurrences of storms of similar intensities and wind velocities during the winter months suggest that the resultant high bottom stresses due to the combined effects of waves and currents are major factors in controlling the distribution of surficial sediment on the central portion of the northern California shelf. -from Authors
