A benthic storm, also known as a deep-sea storm, is an episodic period of intense bottom current that is capable of sediment resuspension in the deep ocean, typically associated with enhanced bottom-water turbidity. They form in response to the instability of surface currents. This leads to the formation of strong cyclonic and anticyclones currents throughout the water column. They are able to generate deep cyclones, anticyclones, and/or topographic waves. These create currents with sufficient bed-shear stress to erode and resuspend sediment from the sea floor that initiates or enhances benthic storms. Particulate matter eroded from the seafloor by the bottom currents also go into forming a nepheloid layer.
