Abstract: Knowledge of near-bottom ocean current velocities and especially their extreme values is necessary to understand geomorphology of the seafloor and composition of benthic biological communities and quantify mechanical energy dissipation by bottom drag. Direct measurements of near-bottom currents in deep ocean remain scarce because of logistical challenges. Here, we report the results of flow velocity and pressure fluctuation measurements at three sites with depths of 2573–4443 m in the area where the Gulf Strea… Show more
