Continental shelf processes affecting the oceanography of the South Atlantic Bight. Progress report, June 1982-December 1983
- comp.
This is a report on the progress of continental margin oceanographic studies being conducted as a part of the overall DOE South Atlantic Bight program. The NCSU-DOE program is working towards a fundamental understanding of oceanographic processes which determine the transport pathways, residence times and ultimate fate of biological and chemical parameters in the coastal environment. Additionally, the SAB has been considered a potential area for fuel producing facilities and activities, as a medium for fuel transport and as a fuel waste receptacle. In that regard, impact upon the environment and environmental impact upon the activity can only be addressed with a more thorough assessment of the environment itself. Research activities have been directed toward the development of the bottom mounted tripod multiple input sensor system, toward the continuing analyses of South Atlantic Bight (Gabex I, Carolina Capes and Gabex II) current meter and ancillary data sets and toward the development of conceptual and theoretical models of continental margin processes and effects.
