Mean and standard deviation of rhodamine density Entrainment Relaxation/ restratification

Conclusions  During strongly upwelling-favorable winds, steepening of isopycnals combined with wind-induced mixing generates a surface mixed layer which actively entrains water beneath an upwelling front.  When upwelling-favorable winds cease or reverse, restratification is rapid with water from the frontal zone becoming widely distributed across the shelf. Plus …  These dye releases have revealed other interesting phenomena not covered here …
