Keeler, R.N., Bondur, V.G. and Gibson, C.H. (2005). Optical satellite imagery detection of internal wave effects from a submerged turbulent outfall in the stratified ocean. Geophysical Research Letters 32: doi: 10.1029/2005GL022390. issn: 0094-8276.

Sea surface brightness anomalies caused by a municipal wastewater discharge are detected from space in areas much larger than their submerged turbulence source. The mechanism involves a complex interaction between currents, topography, tides, vertical and horizontal mixing, internal waves and stratified turbulence.
