| 内容記述 | Data were examined to determine the structure of this intrusion (April 1-7, 1982) and to investigate its effects on water masses in the outer shelf region. A frontal eddy, made up of a warm filament separated from the main current by a region of cooler water, propagated southeastward at 30 cm/s, intruding onto the shelf near 26 deg N between April 4 and 6. It was found from temperature-salinity (T-S) properties that water in the filament was Loop Current water that had been contiguous with Loop Current water 80 m deeper in the main body of the current. It is noted that water in the cold region was Continental Edge water, a transitional water mass with cooler, fresher T-S characteristics. Under this region, upwelling of deeper Loop Current water occurred, and elevated nutrient concentrations were found in the upwelled dome under the cold region. |
