The Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) exhibits one of the largest seasonal cycles of temperature in the global ocean. During the summer, the water column is strongly stratified with warm surface waters separated from much colder bottom waters by a strong, shallow thermocline. The bottom water that remains cold in the summer months is referred to as the ‘cold pool’. The cold pool is formed as the stratification...
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...
Storm-driven sediment resuspension is an episodic process that is an important constraint on sediment transport on continental shelves; unfortunately, the spatial variability of the resuspension and transport processes are poorly quantified using traditional sampling techniques. Using two autonomous underwater gliders, long-range high frequency radar and buoy data, we quantified spatial variability...
