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 …

Cross-frontal exchange at the US Northeast shelfbreak
Exchange across the semipermeable US Northeast shelfbreak front is a potential driver of irreversible change to the continental shelf waters, its productive ecosystem, and economically valuable fisheries. However, cross-frontal exchange is difficult to observe directly because it is highly …

Analysis of acoustic propagation in the region of the New England continental shelfbreak
… south of Nantucket Island, MA. Known as the Shelfbreak Front PRIMER Experiment, the study combined acoustic data from a moored array of sources and receivers with very high resolution physical oceanographic measurements. This thesis addresses two of the primary goals of the experiment, …

Radium isotopes as tracers of coastal circulation pathways in the Mid-Atlantic Bight
… of data from 5 cruises, with a total of 8 cross-shelfbreak transects. Two areas were studied, a northern Mid-Atlantic Bight transect south of Nantucket Shoals, and a southern Mid-Atlantic Bight series of transects off the coast of Delaware. In addition, data were collected from the shelfbreak at …

The Role of Zooplankton in Regulating Carbon Export and Phytoplankton Community Structure: Integrating Models and Observations
… in phytoplankton community size structure in the shelfbreak region of the Northeast U.S. Shelf using high-resolution flow-cytometry measurements. I find that enhancement of phytoplankton biovolume at the shelfbreak front is common during the springtime, but these enhancement events are not …

Probabilistic regional ocean predictions : stochastic fields and optimal planning
… currents, strong wind events, coastal jets, shelfbreak front, and other local circulations on the energy-optimal paths. For the third objective, we develop and apply stochastic level-set PDEs that govern the stochastic time-optimal reachability fronts and paths for vehicles in uncertain, …
