Large-Scale Physical Forcing of Thin Layer Dynamics

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand how physical mechanisms influence the formation, maintenance and dispersion of thin biological layers. This understanding will help us to predict the frequency and occurrence of thin layers, and to identify other coastal regions that are favorable for thin layer development.
