Pietrafesa, L J

The objectives of SEEP-I (Shelf Edge Exchange Processes) were to identify possible pathways of exchange of particulate matter between the shelf and continental slope as these processes relate to the production and fate of biogenic particles and natural and contaminant chemical species. This report describes activities including the deployment and retrieval of an array of moored current meters, thermistor chains, water level recorders, and transmissometers and the subsequent analyses of the resultant data.
