Figure 20. Detailed planar view of the bathymetric data collected during National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration survey H12007 showing the sea floor along the axis of Cross Rip Channel. Note that asymmetrical scour around the shipwreck indicates net eastward transport and that the sea floor is dominated by megaripples and small patches of gravel pavement. Location of view is shown in figure 19. |
