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. Although...
Current and hydrographic observations from the Coastal Mixing and Optics
experiment moored array, deployed from August 1996 through June 1997, are used to
describe the velocity variability and evaluate the dynamics of circulation over the New
England shelf on timescales ranging from a few days to several months. Subtidal (days...

Lateral stirring is a basic oceanographic phenomenon affecting the distribution of physical, chemical, and biological fields. Eddy stirring at scales on the order of 100 km (the mesoscale) is fairly well understood and explicitly represented in modern eddy-resolving numerical models of global ocean circulation. The same cannot be said for...
