Advection: supply/loss to GB
Background
• Fronts have implications for the relative importance of
local vs. exchange processes, and the environmental
conditions experienced by the plankton on GB
•  Animals on the crest are generally retained on GB
(Gentleman, 2000), and experience high food and
predation levels
• Animals on the lower-food SF are generally advected off
GB in winter-spring, but may be advected northward, and
possibly even back to the NEP in late spring
