摘要:
Observation of shelf sediments collected immediately before and after Cyclone Winifred crossed the central Great Barrier Reef shelf (1 February 1986) confirmed that the storm produced a normally graded, mixed terrigenous-carbonate storm layer extending 30km offshore in water up to 43m deep. Distinct post-Winifred changes in the cross-shelf distribution of organic carbon and carbonate in the mud-fraction of the sediment suggest that suspended sediment transport was extensive and that the storm layer had multiple sediment sources. -from Authors
