The surface morphology of a coastal gravity current

摘要

The surface morphology of a coastal gravity current extending over 70 km from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay (USA) is captured in a striking synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image, allowing comparisons to be made with recent field observations and with laboratory studies of rotating gravity currents.
