Observations and Modeling of the West Florida Continental Shelf Circulation

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA620257 | Open PDF

Abstract:

My long-term goals are an improved understanding of how physical processes affect material property distributions on continental shelves and the ability to forecast property changes. Properties of interest include biological red-tide algae and fish larvae, chemical nutrients, and geological resuspended sediments variables, and the physical responses of sea level, currents, temperature and salinity.
