Heat and salt balances over the New England shelf are examined using 10 month time
series of currents, temperature, and salinity from a four element moored array and surface
heat and freshwater fluxes from a meteorological buoy. A principal result is closure of
the heat budget to 10 W m−2....
Austral winter oceanographic measurements from the
northwest Australian continental shelf reveal salty water
forming evaporatively inshore, moving across the wide
shelf near the bottom and into the adjacent open ocean when
the shelf edge alongshore flow is equatorward. The salt
tongue is absent during more normal conditions, when the
poleward...
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...

Observations from the Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) moored array (deployed from August 1996 through June 1997) and supplemental moored observations are used to describe near-inertial current variability over the New England shelf. Near-inertial band current variance comprises 10–20% of the total observed current variance, and has episodic peak speeds...

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...
