Inter-annual variability of shelf water volume on the northeastern Canadian and United States continental shelf, 1973–2013

Inter-annual variability of shelf water volume on the northeastern Canadian and United States continental shelf, 1973–2013

Understanding the variability of waters confined to the northeastern United States and Canadian continental shelf is essential in determining factors that influence hydrographic patterns and structure, changes in fisheries stocks and planktonic assemblages, and the impact of Arctic warming. Shelf wa...

Zusammenfassung:Understanding the variability of waters confined to the northeastern United States and Canadian continental shelf is essential in determining factors that influence hydrographic patterns and structure, changes in fisheries stocks and planktonic assemblages, and the impact of Arctic warming. Shelf waters (SHW) located between Newfoundland and Cape Hatteras are characterized by lower salinity (
