Benthic Storms: Temporal Variability in a Deep-Ocean Nepheloid Layer

Time series measurements of light scattering were made for 2frac12 months at 20 meters above the bottom in the western North Atlantic. The highest values recorded with the nephelometer exceeded all previous measurements worldwide. Rapid changes indicated a high degree of activity near the sea floor, and some increases may have been related to atmospheric storms.
