The Mid Atlantic Bight continental shelf has one of the largest summer temperature gradients in the world, with near bottom temperatures below 8C and peak surface temperatures over 28C. This is largely due to the summer Cold Pool, remnant winter water that is generated on the northern MAB and transported southward along the continental shelf in spring and early summer. During tropical cyclones that...
Tropical and extra-tropical cyclones are episodic events that redistribute sediment, pollutants, nutrients and heat on continental shelves. The development and validation of ocean and sediment transport models is necessary to interpret short-term events on the long-term sediment record. Numerous studies have used pre- and post-storm surveys to validate three-dimensional sediment resuspension and transport...
The National High Frequency (HF) Surface Current Mapping Radar Network is being developed as a backbone system within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System. This paper focuses on the application of HF radar-derived surface current maps to U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue operations along the Mid-Atlantic coast of the USA. In that context, we evaluated two algorithms used to combine maps of...
