Statistical Summary of Oceanic Fronts and Water Masses in the Western North Atlantic.

Spatial variability and thermal characteristics of the Gulf Stream and the Slope Front are summarized to show the average or typical conditions. Thermally related parameters, such as sonic layer depths and sound channels, are summarized for each water mass separated by these fronts and subdivided by...
