TL;DR: Most decapod larvae are capable of crossing the vertical temperature differences normally found across thermoclines in natural systems, which may have significant consequences for horizontal transport within shelf waters, because amplitude and phase differences of the tidal currents across the thermocline may be reflected in different trajectories of the migrating larvae.

TL;DR: In this paper, an upwelling index for each month over a 17-year period (1969-1985) for a point off the western coast of Spain was calculated and compared with the conditions of mussels grown during a season on rafts in Ria de Arosa.

TL;DR: In this article, observations and numerical simulations of the evolution of upswelling and the resultant coastal circulation in response to two wind events occurring along the Galician coast of Spain during the April 18-26, 1982 period are presented.

TL;DR: Gulf Stream Water intrudes across the bottom during summer to replace the upwelled water, and accounts for the colder and more stratified water over the northern Florida and the North Carolina shelves as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 8 years of wind and salinity data from a frontal zone in a region of the inner continental shelf off the southeastern United States and found that the changes in low-salinity water stored in the frontal zone have been parameterized by analyzing the monthly rate of change in freshwater content.
