Representation of Near-Bed Sediment Gravity Flows within the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)

MOTIVATION: Sediment-induced stratification very close to the bed (bottom 10-20 cm) creates strong limits to resuspension. This vertical scale, however, is well below the resolution of most 3-D ocean models.
