Observational Evidence and Open Questions on the Role of Internal Tidal Waves on the Concentration and Transport of Floating Plastic Debris
Tidal currents flowing over benthic relief (e.g., banks, shelf break) can produce large internal waves. These waves propagate away from their origin and are capable of crossing the continental shelf and seas. Studies of shoreward transport of larval invertebrates and fish by these internal waves uni...
