ABSTRACT Flow parameters (velocity and density) for turbidity currents in the Northwest Atlantic Mid‐Ocean Channel (NAMOC) have been determined based on two different approaches, channel geometry and grain‐size distributions of turbidites. Channel geometry has been obtained by a quantitative morphol...
