Data from: Near-inertial internal waves funnelled into Taylor caps shape seamount tops, with implications for biodiversity in the deep ocean

Internal waves are energetic and ubiquitous in the ocean and their interactions with submarine topography could drive sediment resuspension and reshape seafloor substrate. However, the mechanisms governing such interactions are largely unknown. Here, using observational data at Pacific deep-sea seamounts, we show how near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) may affect substrate variability and benthic biodiversity via interactions with seamounts. In this dataset, we report in-situ observational data collected from six mooring sites on Caiwei seamount (CS) and Weijia seamount (WS) in the Northwest Pacific.
