The effect of stratification on wind-driven, cross-shelf circulation and transport on the inner continental shelf
… height. Thermal stratification above the bottom mixed layer is shown to cap the height to which sediment is resuspended. Stratification increases the transport driven by cross-shelf wind stresses, and this effect is larger in the response to offshore winds than onshore winds. However, a …

HYDROGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS OF OXYGEN AND RELATED PHYSICAL VARIABLES IN THE NORTH SEA AND WESTERN ROSSSEA POLYNYA investigations using seagliders, historical observations and numerical modelling
… to 1902 revealed low dissolved oxygen in the bottom mixed layer of the central North Sea.We deployed a Seaglider in a region of known low oxygen during August 2011 to investigate the processes regulating supply and consumption of dissolved oxygen below the pycnocline. Historical data …

Observed circulation and inferred sediment transport in Hudson Submarine Canyon
… upwelling and downwelling through the upper layers of Hudson Canyon. Storm-forced upwelling also caused strong down-canyon flows at the canyon floor. Internal waves were found to be concentrated in the canyon head and near the floor, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Slope water …

Fingerprints and Drivers of Recent Changes in Oceanic Oxygen: From Regional to Global Scales
… data. Historical trends and variability in Bottom Mixed Layer (BML) [O2] for the North Sea region are also investigated. Observed (-0:62 mol L-1) and regional model simulated (-0:35 mol L-1 [GETM-ERSEM]) area mean linear trends in summer BML [O2] (1959–2006) are shown to exceed global …

On subannual variability in the abyssal ocean
… the structure and variability of the bottom mixed layer (BML) in a region targeted for deep-sea mining. The observations reveal a spatially and temporally variable BML with a mean thickness of ∼250m and influenced by interactions with mesoscale eddies and abyssal thermal fronts. A …

Subtidal cross-shelf circulation on the Northern California shelf
… Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE), Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE), Sediment Transport Events over the Shelf and Slope (STRESS) study, and Northern California Coastal Circulation Study (NCCCS) are used to study subtidal cross-shelf circulation over the northern California shelf. The …
