Progress is reported on oceanographic studies in the Southeast Atlantic. Results are summarized for a study of physical oceanographic factors forcing water motion on the continental shelf and the origin of Gulf Stream intrusions; the physical oceanography of intrusions once isolated from the Gulf Stream; nutrient fluxes induced by and chemical characterization of intrusions; the effects of intrusions and coastal circulation on microorganisms, phytoplankton, and zooplankton; heavy metal distribution and inputs into coastal waters; radioisotope geochemistry; and uptake and discharge of pollutants by marine organisms.
