Observations and modelling of cross-frontal exchange

Observations and modelling of cross-frontal exchange

Abstract
The density structure at tidal mixing fronts gives rise to a non-tidal circulation with implications for the transport of nutrients. Coherent along-front currents with speeds of up to 0.25 m/s are now well described for several European shelf seas. In contrast, no direct observations have been made to establish the existence and extent of cross-frontal circulation. Transverse circulation cells, consistently
