Talk:Nepheloid layer

Untitled

All of the information in the article is relevant to the topic of the Nepheloid Layer, and the only distractions were the relatively frequent use of more specific, complicated terms that were not already defined (such as “lidar” and “bathymetry”), meaning that in order to read and fully understand the article, one has to navigate to other pages multiple times. None of the content provided is out of date, however more information could be added about the Porcupine Bight, as that section is especially brief and uninformative compared to the section covering the Gulf of Mexico. I believe that the amount and level of detail in the article as a whole could also be improved. The scientific information that is presented is accurate and clearly presented, but as previously mentioned, it does include linked jargon that could be confusing to the average reader.

In sum, the content, general tone, and sources are informative, reliable, and unbiased, although the distribution of amount of information within the article's sections could be expanded upon. This talk page also provides some appreciated background as to the purpose of the article.
