Rapid Hydrographic, Optical and Microstructure Surveys on the Continental Shelf and Slope

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the dynamics of mesoscale circulation over the continental shelf and slope, with an emphasis on fronts, jets, eddies and topographic influences. To examine the relationship between circulation processes and the spatial distributions of mixing and optical properties over the continental margin.
