Coastal Benthic Boundary Layer (CBBL) Research Program: A review of the fourth year
2006
Richardson, Michael D.
The Coastal Benthic Boundary Layer (CBBL) Special Research program is a 5-year Office of Naval Research study that addressed the physical characterization and modeling of benthic boundary layer processes and the impact these processes have on seafloor structure, properties and behavior. The report is a summary of the results compiled and published during the fourth year of the program. Quantitative physical models of the benthic boundary layer are being tested in a series of experiments at coastal locations where differing environmental processes determine sediment structure. The sites were Eckernforde Bay, Baltic Sea; the West Florida Sand Sheet off Panama City, Florida; the lower Florida Keys; and the shallow continental shelf off Northern California. Predictive models developed through this program should enhance MCM technological capabilities in several important areas including acoustic and magnetic detection, classification, and neutralization of proud and buried mines; shock wave propagation; prediction of mine burial; and sediment classification. This report includes an introduction to the program, a list of publications that have resulted from CBBL research to date, and fourth year final reports from 21 groups supported by the CBBL.
