Collaborative Research: The impact of eddies, fronts, and horizontal stirring on exchange — NSF Award to University of North Carol
Small (2-20 km) scale horizontal features in the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight region are biologically important due to their role in moving nutrients and larvae across the continental shelf. This work will resolve the physical oceanography components of these exchanges and provide benchmark datasets for verifying numeri

| Abstract | Small (2-20 km) scale horizontal features in the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight region are biologically important due to their role in moving nutrients and larvae across the continental shelf. This work will resolve the physical oceanography components of these exchanges and provide benchmark datasets for verifying numerical models. Surface current observations from this experiment will be integrated into K-12 programming to foster STEM education. Two students and a post-doctoral investigator will |
