Alongshore currents and mesoscale variability near the shelf edge off northwestern Australia

Creator:

Brink, K. H., Bahr, Frank, and Shearman, R. Kipp

Abstract:

Shelf break conditions and alongshore flow off northwestern Australia are studied during the strongly evaporative conditions of austral winter 2003. Present results, along with those of previous authors, confirm that a poleward, fresh Leeuwin current core is normally found near the shelf break. Salinity increases alongshore toward the southwest.
