Frontogenesis is the fluid-dynamical processes that rapidly sharpen horizontal density
gradients and their associated horizontal velocity shears. It is a positive feedback process …

The concept of a highly productive habitat, or Green Belt, along the edge of the continental
shelf in the Bering Sea is based upon compelling but fragmentary and often anecdotal …

Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides an introductory-level exploration of
geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows on large …

Shallow water acoustics (SWA), the study of how low and medium frequency sound
propagates and scatters on the continental shelves of the worlds oceans, has both technical …

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading oceanographers bring together the
fundamental physics and biology of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way …

The Cretaceous is a special episode in the history of the Earth named for a unique rock type,
chalk. Chalk is similar to modern deep-sea calcareous ooze and its deposition in …

The coastal ocean meets the deep sea at the continental shelf edge. Questions of global
change entail elucidation of the processes that determine the quantities, transformation and …

This article discusses the results of a suite of numerical simulations of the oceanic circulation
in the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf region that are aimed to characterize its mean circulation …

Seasonal to interannual variability of satellite derived chlorophyll‐a over the Patagonia shelf
and shelf break in the western South Atlantic are studied based on 7 years of ocean‐color …

Description of the shelfbreak front in the Middle Atlantic Bight is hampered by the extreme
variability of the front. In order to gain insight into both the seasonal variability and regional …
