Oceanography of the New York Bight, August 1974.
The physical oceanography of the shelf and slope waters of the New York Bight (Block Island to Cape May) in August of 1974 is described. Temperature, salinity, and density data, presented in surface contours and section profiles, showed the shelf/slope front, a cold core on the shelf, and a salinity...
