Figure 15. Detailed multibeam-bathymetric image of scour depressions and erosional outliers (positive local relief) in the southern part of the study area. In these deep areas, large depressions and outliers tend to trend east-west, but the small, deep depressions trend north-south. Also visible are a few boulders within a scour depression. Location shown in figure 12. |
