Introduction to Sloping Bathymetry

What is/are Sloping Bathymetry?

Sloping Bathymetry -   The prj scheme, while highly accurate in the ocean interior, shows unphysical behaviour at the sea-bed for steeply sloping bathymetry. ^[1] We find that a DEBC comparable to that in observations and state estimate products is obtained only with combined forcing by Agulhas rings and a sloping bathymetry. ^[2] We study a sedimentary delta prograding over a fixed adversely sloping bathymetry, asking whether a perturbation to the advancing shoreline will grow (unstable) or decay (stable) through time. ^[3] Conventional geometric spreading assumptions were challenged for the sloping bathymetry characteristic of the Hawaiian coral reef environment. ^[4] Our results suggest that strong vertical motion exists against the side walls of Nares Strait, as the across‐strait flow interacts with the steeply sloping bathymetry. ^[5] Tidal flats with shallow-sloping bathymetry under meso-to macrotidal conditions allow organisms to occupy similar tidal elevations at different distances from subtidal channels. ^[6] The investigated WEC farm is modelled for a real wave climate and a sloping bathymetry based on a proposed OSWEC array project off the coast of Bretagne, France. ^[7] The waves propagate over a sloping bathymetry and impinge upon a square structure founded onshore in a flat sediment bed. ^[8]
