Sea-floor geology and topography offshore in northeastern Long Island Sound
Figure 17. Detailed planar view from the digital terrain model produced from bathymetric data collected during National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration survey H12012 showing transverse sand waves on top of a shallow shelf platform and locations of stations 012-6 and 012-8. Note that the transition from the bordering relatively flat sea floor is abrupt and that megaripples progressively give way to sand waves. Location of view is shown in figure 13. |
