Rapid Surveys of Frontal and Inner Shelf Features of Wind-Driven Upwelling

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is to further understanding of the frontal and inner shelf dynamics of an upwelling system, particularly with respect to the evolution of frontal gradients, secondary frontal circulation and the formation of interleaving layers of differing hydrographic/optical properties (such as the commonly observed, but poorly understood, temperature maximum and high turbidity layers).
