摘要: Abstract Benthic sediments in continental shelf seas control a variety of biogeochemical processes, yet their composition, especially that fine sediment, remains difficult to predict. Mechanisms for mud or sediment deposition and retention are not fully understood. Using data hydrodynamic model the Northwest European seas, relationship is shown exist between benthic composition regions cyclonic tidal current rotation. The reduced thickness boundary layers compared with anticyclonic case promotes trapping resuspended material. Adding effects layer thickness, as influenced by ellipticity not, sheds some light on limitations approaches only focusing bed shear stress pathways predict location deposits. A predictor includes alongside magnitude depth was spatially agree maps
