“…seabed sediments, and controlling the grain size of the regional sediments (Ma et al, 2016;Tian et al, 2019aTian et al, ,b, 2021. The phenomena of sediment resuspension can be easily observed from high-resolution acoustic backscatter data (Cacchione et al, 2002;Reeder et al, 2011;Masunaga et al, 2015;Tian et al, 2019a). In this study, patches of weak scattering intensity (purple arrows) are often observed in the near-bottom layers after passing the ISWs (Figures 7A,G), showing the sediment resuspension process induced by the ISWs.…”
