Quantifying Ocean Thermal Variability in the Middle Atlantic Bight

Abstract

As part of the preparations for the Capturing Uncertainty Initiative at ONR, various measures of ocean thermal variability in the vicinity of the shelfbreak front in the Middle Atlantic Bight were calculated. The primary data source was the ONR Shelfbreak PRIMER experiment. Some of the results of thermal variability were contrasted with other sources of variability, including a historical climatology and model results.
