Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Preliminary laboratory experiments on the interaction of a coastal current and a submarine canyon using a rotating platform are presented. The influence of canyon on the behaviour of frontal current and the associated exchange processes between the shallow and deep parts of the basin are analyzed under quasi barotropic conditions. A strong influence of the canyon on the dynamics of the frontal current is clearly observed, mainly due to a downslope flow through the near bottom viscous layer. Comparison with recent field observations are presented.
