“…Internal waves (which are usually associated with pycnocline development) are sources of dynamic activity, such as surge, which can resuspend sediment, dislodge organisms and refresh micro-environments as reflected by high densities of sessile organisms. Riffenburg (1973) has estimated internal wave height extremes in the region to be on the order of 9 to 10 m with periods of 17 to 18 seconds, resulting in extreme bottom surge velocities on the order of 200 cm/sec at 20 m depth, and of 15 cm/sec at 200 m depth.…”
