Surface Current on NJ Shelf RUCOOL 2006 Stratified season (6, 7, 8, 9)

Mean surface current for summer 2006, all wind conditions Color indicates flow velocity (cm/s) Primary drilling site locations are overlayed as black dots

Strong NW wind Mostly downshelf flow Strong NE wind Rapid onshore flow with isolated regions of low velocity flow Strong S wind Cross-shelf transport heading offshore Strong E wind Weak current across most of the shelf, flow arrested
