Direct measurement of near-bottom turbulence in deep ocean for predicting behavior of suspended particles in Sagami Bay and the Okinawa Trough, Japan

In this study, turbulent flows were measured using the Expendable Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP-X) at the hydrothermal fields in the Okinawa Trough (Iheya North field and Noho site) and Sagami Bay (off Itoh and at Ohmuro Caldera) to characterize the turbulence intensity. For each observation...
