Abstract

• We analyse here contourite drifts presumably related to a topographic control given by promontories or seafloor depressions (e.g., slide scars) in some Italian Seas. We therefore investigate the local effect of a topographic unevenness (such as a landslide scar) on flow contouring a cape by applying the classical conservation of marine water potential vorticity (PV). We further analyse the presence of non-linear and/or baroclinic instabilities that may lead to erosive or depositional conditions which, in turn, inhibit or favour the formation of contourites. Such an analysis is performed by applying the classical theory for conservation of potential vorticity (PV) in a cylindrical frame, which is able to describe the fluid properties by means of bathymetric curvatures.
