The small-scale spatial variations of the Bottom Boundary Layer (BBL) associated with anomalous bottom layers in the form of cold eddies or cold filaments are studied here. Statistics of long term records from the HEBBLE area ($\sp\sim$40$\sp\circ$N, 62$\sp\circ$W), where the deep jet known as the C...
