Seafloor bedforms in the Gulf of Cadiz. 3A

Image from ROV Argus showing bedforms in the distal furrow area of the upper contouritic terrace eroded by the Mediterranean Outflow Water in the continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz. Fine sandy dune showing smaller-scale slightly sinuous ripples superimposed on the stoss side and rectilinear chutes incising the lee side. The sand waves and ripples show coherence with a similar bottom current direction.
