Research progress for 1980 is reported. The development of a wind-induced upwelling and its effect on outer shelf chlorophyll distributions was followed. Phytoplankton productivity measurements obtained during GABEX I and other DOE-sponsored cruises were used to estimate primary and new production of the outer shelf during winter and spring. (ACR)
