Continental Shelf Embayments of the Eastern Margin of the Philippines; Lamon Bay Stratification & Circulation

Abstract

Long Term Goals: To investigate the circulation, stratification and the Shelf-Slope interaction, and the resultant ocean productivity, within a major embayment, Lamon Bay, of the eastern margin of the Philippines. Objectives: The research objectives of the Lamon Bay program is to quantity the spatial and temporal characteristics of the ocean processes governing the stratification & circulation within Lamon Bay and their relationship to regional marine productivity and ecosystems and to investigate possible linkage of Lamon Bay dynamics to the larger scale, such as the development of the Kuroshio.
