U.S. GLOBEC: Physical processes on Georges Bank
JGR-Oceans Special Section GLOBEC (Georges Bank), Nov. 2003
• 1995 Stratification Study: surface forcing; temperature & salt
balances; bottom stress & tidal boundary layer; slope water
intrusions.
• 1999 Frontal Studies: northern flank tidal & subtidal variability,
cross-frontal fluxes and mixing.
• 1997, 1999 Scotian Shelf Water “cross-overs”:  spring 1997;
winter-spring 1999.
• 1995-1999 Bank/Seasonal Scale:  surface drifter flow; ADCP flow.
• Seasonal/interannual Scale: Halifax section variability; Nitrate
supply and new production on GB
• Model Process Studies: diurnal heating on GB stratification; wind-
forced cross-front exchange on GB; temperature and flow influences
on Calanus in Gulf of St. Lawrence and Scotian Shelf
