We analize the sources of along- and cross-isobath variations in
Lagrangian pathways in the Gulf of Maine. Along-shore winds and
Scotian Shelf inflow are found to be particularly important to
variations at all depths, while cross-isobath pathways in the upper
ocean are particularly sensitive to wind.
