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
