Field studies conducted in the channel north of the Delaware Bay lightering anchorage are discussed. Significant differences are found to exist between the winter-spring season when only a single front occurs, and the summer-fall when multiple, internal waves appear on a persistent near-surface pycnocline. Although the data are not conclusive, some effects of variation in river-flow can be seen.
