Flux and composition of settling particles across the continental margin of the Gulf of Lion: the role of dense shelf water cascading
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Pasqual, C.; Sanchez-vidal, A.; Zuniga, D.; Calafat, A.; Canals, M.; Durrieu De Madron, X.; Puig, P.; Heussner, S.; Palanques, A.; Delsaut, N.
Settling particles were collected using sediment traps deployed along three transects in the Lacaze-Duthiers and Cap de Creus canyons and the adjacent southern open slope from October 2005 to October 2006. The settling material was analyzed to obtain total mass fluxes and main constituent contents (organic matter, opal, calcium carbonate, and siliciclastics). Cascades of dense shelf water from the continental shelf edge to the lower continental slope occurred from January to March 2006. They were traced through strong negative near-bottom temperature anomalies and increased current speeds, and generated two intense pulses of mass fluxes in January and March 2006. This oceanographic phenomenon appeared as the major physical forcing of settling particles at...

Deep sediment resuspension and thick nepheloid layer generation by open-ocean convection
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Durrieu De Madron, Xavier; Ramondenc, S.; Berline, L.; Houpert, L.; Bosse, Anthony; Martini, S.; Guidi, L.; Conan, P.; Curtil, C.; Delsaut, N.; Kunesch, S.; Ghiglione, J. F.; Marsaleix, P.; Pujo-pay, M.; Severin, T.; Testor, P.; Tamburini, C.
The Gulf of Lions in the northwestern Mediterranean is one of the few sites around the world ocean exhibiting deep open-ocean convection. Based on 6-year long (2009-2015) time series from a mooring in the convection region, shipborne measurements from repeated cruises, from 2012 to 2015, and glider measurements, we report evidence of bottom thick nepheloid layer formation, which is coincident with deep sediment resuspension induced by bottom-reaching convection events. This bottom nepheloid layer, which presents a maximum thickness of around 2000 m in the center of the convection region, probably results from the action of cyclonic eddies that are formed during the convection period and can persist within their core while they travel through the basin. The...

Impact of open-ocean convection on particle fluxes and sediment dynamics in the deep margin of the Gulf of Lions
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Stabholz, M.; Durrieu De Madron, X.; Canals, M.; Khripounoff, Alexis; Taupier-letage, Isabelle; Testor, Pierre; Heussner, S.; Kerherve, P.; Delsaut, N.; Houpert, Loic; Lastras, G.; Dennielou, Bernard.
The deep outer margin of the Gulf of Lions and the adjacent basin, in the western Mediterranean Sea, are regularly impacted by open-ocean convection, a major hydrodynamic event responsible for the ventilation of the deep water in the western Mediterranean Basin. However, the impact of open-ocean convection on the flux and transport of particulate matter remains poorly understood. The variability of water mass properties (i.e., temperature and salinity), currents, and particle fluxes were monitored between September 2007 and April 2009 at five instrumented mooring lines deployed between 2050 and 2350-m depth in the deepest continental margin and adjacent basin. Four of the lines followed a NW-SE transect, while the fifth one was located on a sediment wave...

Sediment transport along the Cap de Creus Canyon flank during a mild, wet winter
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Martin, J.; De Madron, X. Durrieu; Puig, P.; Bourrin, F.; Palanques, A.; Houpert, Loic; Higueras, M.; Sanchez-vidal, A.; Calafat, A. M.; Canals, M.; Heussner, S.; Delsaut, N.; Sotin, C.
Cap de Creus Canyon (CCC) is known as a preferential conduit for particulate matter leaving the Gulf of Lion continental shelf towards the slope and the deep basin, particularly in winter when storms and dense shelf water cascading coalesce to enhance the seaward export of shelf waters.  During the CASCADE (CAscading, Storm, Convection, Advection and Downwelling Events) cruise in March 2011, deployments of recording instruments within the canyon and vertical profiling of the water column properties were conducted to study with high spatial-temporal resolution the impact of such processes on particulate matter fluxes.  In the context of a mild and wet 2010–2011 winter, no remarkable dense shelf water formation was observed. On the other hand, the...
