- •
Large sediment waves are developed over the Gulf of Valencia continental slope.
- •
Wavelengths of 500–1000 m and maximum wave heights of 50 m are observed.
- •
Near-inertial internal waves are proposed as the generation mechanism.
- •
The continental slope gradient determines the sediment waves' shape and evolution.
