This review considers transport of larval fish and crustaceans on the continental shelf.
Previous reviews have contained only limited treatments of the physical processes involved …

We summarize what is known of the biophysical interactions that control vertical migration
and dispersal of decapod larvae, asking the following main questions: How common is …

The coastal ocean meets the deep sea at the continental shelf edge. Questions of global
change entail elucidation of the processes that determine the quantities, transformation and …

In the transition area between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea entrainment processes
dominate the vertical mixing in the inflowing saline bottom water. The hot spots of these …

Cross-shelf exchange dominates the pathways and rates by which nutrients, biota, and
materials on the continental shelf are delivered and removed. This follows because cross …

Onshore intrusions of offshore waters onto the Mid‐Atlantic Bight shelf can greatly affect
shelf circulation, biogeochemistry, and fisheries. Previous studies have concentrated on …

Analyses of current time series longer than 200 days from 33 sites over the Middle Atlantic
Bight continental shelf reveal a consistent mean circulation pattern. The mean depth …

Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140° W) in November 1984
showed a surprisingly strong effect of both the daily cycle of solar heating and wind on …

Observations from an intensive oceanographic field program which took place in 1998–
1999 about the separation point of the East Australian Current (EAC) show significant spatial …

Sediment transport and bottom boundary layer (BBL) in an idealized estuary with a muddy
bed were studied by numerical simulations. The focus was placed on description and …
