A sea floor barrier of relatively shallow depth restricting water movement between oceanic basins
The influence of an aquatic sill on fjord water circulation.
An aquatic sill (or an oceanic sill) is a sea floor barrier of relatively shallow depth (tens to hundreds of meters) that restricts water movement between benthic zones of an oceanic basin or lake bottom.[1] There are roughly 400 sills in the Earth's oceans, covering 0.01% of the seafloor.[2] A classic example is the Strait of Gibraltar Gateway between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean.[3]
