Onslow Bay Physical/Dynamical Experiments Summer, 1976nData Report Volume Ⅱ(Data Products)

摘要

Two moorings were set at the "focal points", locations A and B (Figure 2) of the cuspate shaped Onslow Bay. The current meters were set two to a mooring at depths of 10 and 25 meters from the surface in 28 meters of water, at each of the mooring sites, A and B. The array was designed to observe the propagation of phenomena across and along the inner to mid-shelf and to establish insights into the physics of the vertical and horizontal modal structure of the horizontal currents.nThe reason for siting the study of the intrusion of nutrients onto the continental shelf of the South Atlantic Bight in Onslow Bay was primarily based on the fact that there is/has been more historical data, i.e., background information needed to plan such a study, collected in Onslow Bay than anywhere else in the South Atlantic Bight.
