Wind-driven response of the Hudson River Plume and its effect on dissolved oxygen concentrations

摘要

The Lagrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment (LaTTE) study of the Hudson River Plume has now completed 2 of its 3 field seasons. The interdisciplinary study is being conducted in a sustained coastal research observatory that provides a spatial and temporal context for adaptive shipboard sampling. Observations from the second LaTTE field season are used here to describe the processes responsible for a previously unexplained recurrent hypoxia region along the New Jersey coast.
