Interannual Variability Of Wintertime Temperature On The Inner Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight, Thomas Connolly, Steven Lentz Sep 2014

Interannual Variability Of Wintertime Temperature On The Inner Continental Shelf Of The Middle Atlantic Bight, Thomas Connolly, Steven Lentz

Faculty Publications

The shallow depth of the inner continental shelf allows for rapid adjustment of the ocean to air-sea exchange of heat and momentum compared with offshore locations. Observations during 2001–2013 are used to evaluate the contributions of air-sea heat flux and oceanic advection to interannual variability of inner-shelf temperature in the Middle Atlantic Bight. Wintertime processes are important for interpreting regional interannual variability at nearshore locations since winter anomalies account for 69–77% of the variance of the annual anomalies and are correlated over broad along-shelf scales, from New England to North Carolina. At the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory on the 12 …
