“…Sand-wave movement and thus bedload transport apparently occurs during calm weather, and maximum sediment transport apparently occurs when major southwesterly storms generate sea level set-up in the eastern Bering Sea that enhances northerly currents (Cacchione and Drake, 1979;Schumaker and Trip, 1979). Strong north winds from the Arctic, however, reduce the strength of the continuous northerly currents and thereby reduce the amount of bedload transport.…”
