HYDROGRAPHIC STUDIES IN THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO.
Abstract
The major circulatory features and distribution of physical properties in the northeast Gulf of Mexico are presented from a series of eight quasi-synoptic surveys. Seasonal changes in hydrography and circulation over the continental shelf are shown and discussed in terms of their relationship to the offshore currents, river discharge, winds, and tides. Surface current speed and direction are determined from an extensive drift bottle study and distribution of density. (Author)
