Advection: supply to GB
Background
•Modelling studies suggest that the
eastern GOM (strong influence
of SS and/or Slope water) a major source of near-surface copepods to the NEP
•Western
GOM populations supply the crest of GB during winter wind-driven flows
•These
studies used climatological winds - do not capture variability in 2-15 d band, or interannual
variability
