Coastal Surface Current Variability

Abstract

The goal of the research effort is to study the effects of Gulf Stream and Florida Current intrusions and tides over the continental slope on coastal surface current variability detected from the Ocean Surface Current Radar (OSCR). A key aspect of the research is to understand the role of subsurface structure on surface current signatures in the internal wave band.
