Evidence for secondary circulation associated with a shelfbreak front is obtained from a high‐resolution, cross‐shelf section of hydrographic, optical and velocity fields. Convergence in the bottom boundary layer on the inshore side of the front and subsequent upwelling into the interior is evident by a mid‐water region of suspended bottom...
Two physical oceanography cruises on the R/V Endeavor were conducted by the co-PIs
Jack Barth and Mike Kosro as part of the ONR-sponsored Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO)
Accelerated Research Initiative. The objective was to rapidly survey a region around 40.5N,
70.5W where a set of moorings and a stationary...
We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on
R/V Wecoma during cruise W0105c (23 May to 13 June 2001). The cruise was a component
(Survey I) of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) experiment. The ADCP
was an RD Instruments hull-mounted 153.6-kHz narrowband...
