Tabitha Pearman (SAERI, formerly at NOC, UK) and Sam Jones (SAMS, UK) created a nice video, illustrating the internal tides in Whittard Canyon, and how they might influence the habitat for specific benthic species.
You can find the video here:
This animation is constructed using two hydrodynamic models; AMM15, which is a NEMO-based model of the European shelf (Graham et al., 2019) for the large scale velocities, and a high resolution model of Whittard Canyon (Aslam et al., 2018) for the detail. The species distribution predictions are based on Pearman et al. (2020).
