Dynamics of Dipoles in the Middle Atlantic Bight
… Gulf Stream warm-core rings (WCR's) in the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) have been observed with one or more cyclones around their periphery. These ring systems are observed in the slope water between the Gulf Stream's western boundary and the shelf break. Observations of ring systems have …

A climatology of the Middle Atlantic Bight shelfbreak front
Description of the shelfbreak front in the Middle Atlantic Bight is hampered by the extreme variability of the front. In order to gain more insight into the mean frontal structure and associated baroclinic jet, historical data is used to produce two dimensional climatological fields of temperature …

Diagnosing the variability in temperature and velocity in the Middle Atlantic Bight
… of hydrographic and dynamical properties on the Middle Atlantic Bight shelf document strong variability at time scales spanning events that last a few days to century long trends. This thesis studies individual processes which impact shelf temperature and velocity structure, and quantifies the …

Physical and biological processes at the Middle Atlantic Bight shelf-break front
The Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) is a highly productive ecosystem, supporting several economically important commercial fisheries. Chlorophyll enhancement at the MAB shelf-break front has been observed only intermittently, despite numerous studies that suggest persistent upwelling at the front. High …

The dynamics of mean circulation on the continental shelf
… on several continental shelves, e.g. in the Middle Atlantic Bight and in the Weddell Sea. A theoretical model is developed to explore the driving mechanism of this mean circulation. In the model, the velocity field is decomposed into a depth-independent bottom geostrophic component and a …

Neural Operator Models as Applied to Fluid Flow Systems and Real Ocean Dynamics
… to forecasting ocean surface circulation in the Middle Atlantic Bight and Massachusetts Bay, learning from high-resolution data-assimilative simulations employed for real sea experiments. We confirm that trained deep neural operator models are capable of predicting idealized periodic eddy …

Adaptive Stochastic Reduced-Order Modeling for Autonomous Ocean Platforms
… specifically from the real-time exercises in the Middle Atlantic Bight region. We also highlight our results using the Navy’s Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) forecasts in the North Atlantic region. We then apply the adaptive ROM onboard forecasting algorithm to interdisciplinary …

Observed circulation and inferred sediment transport in Hudson Submarine Canyon
… and hydrographic surveys of seven canyons of the Middle Atlantic Bight indicate that the effects of storms, tides, and incoming internal waves are intensified in submarine canyons. Storms with strong eastward and westward wind stress were found to cause strong upwelling and downwelling through the …

Environmental analysis and prediction of transmission loss in the region of the New England Shelfbreak
… systems. In the Nantucket Shoals area of the Middle Atlantic Bight, two experiments, the New England Shelfbreak Tests (NEST), were conducted in May and June, 2007 and 2008, to study this variability. A comprehensive climatology of the region along with the experimental data provided detailed …

Community structure of demersal fishes on the inshore U.S. Atlantic continental shelf: Cape Ann, MA. to Cape Fear, N.C. (United States, cluster analysis, Massachusetts, North Carolina)
… provinces of the U.S. east coast (Gulf of Maine, Middle Atlantic Bight and South Atlantic Bight) were represented in the study area, as were the seasonal faunal barriers at Nantucket Shoals and Cape Hatteras. Generally, the faunal zones correlated well with the thermal regimes of each province and …
