A dye tracer reveals cross-shelf dispersion and interleaving on the Oregon shelf

Creator:

Dale, A. C., Levine, Murray D., Barth, John A., and Austin, J. A.

Abstract:

A fluorescent dye tracer was injected into the pycnocline on the Oregon shelf at a depth of 9–10 m. It spread rapidly cross-shelf as two distinct layers, one above the other in the water column, split by interleaving dye-free water. The vertical scale of these layers, and associated density steps,...

Observations of mixed layer restratification by onshore surface transport following wind reversal in a coastal upwelling region

Creator:

Dale, Andrew C., Barth, John A., Levine, Murray D., and Austin, J. A.

Abstract:

Observations, from the Oregon continental shelf, describe the slumping of a coastal upwelling front in response to a reversal of winds from upwelling-to downwelling-favorable. Initially, the front outcropped in a surface mixed layer of depth 10–20 m with a pronounced cross-shelf density gradient. Following wind reversal, both the unbalanced cross-shelf...
