Collaborative Research: Processes driving Exchange At Cape Hatteras (PEACH) Grant uri icon

abstract

  • PEACH will examine the dynamics of shelf-deep ocean exchange offshore of Cape Hatteras where basin-scale and shelf flows converge. An observational program that combines in situ and remote observing platforms will measure exchange processes at temporal scales from days to years and will capture frontal behavior and interactions throughout the Cape Hatteras region. Idealized and realistic numerical modeling will complement analysis of the observations and enable exploration of dynamical balances.
