Rapid Vertical Exchange at Fronts in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

2022-05-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The Texas-Louisiana Shelf in the Northern Gulf of Mexico is home to the second largest human-caused dead zone in the world. Here, the nutrient-laden, stratified waters of the Mississippi River plume condition hypoxia in a bottom layer during the summer. The plume also generates strong fronts, features of the circulation that are known pathways for the exchange of water between the ocean...
