Abstract:<p>Sea floor erosion can be induced by waves, bottom currents and ice. Although the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea is a relatively small basin, the record value of significant wave height is 8.1 m with highest individual wave of 15 m. In the present climate the seasonal ice cover limits the wave growth during winter time, but in the future climate it is estimated that ice extent will reduce which can lead to more severe wave climate. Thus, the effect of waves on the bottom sediment erosion is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
