海鸟计数进行了沿着六个断面横跨在爱尔兰海西部的潮汐混合前，第一次，结合传统的视觉鸟类观测技术和非常高分辨率的映射使用起伏CTD的锋面结构。四种海鸟显然聚集在一个精确定义的锋面边界。发现成群的海鸟在很短的雾凇期（小时）内改变位置，保持它们相对于表面物理参数和地下温跃层的位置。结果证实了相当多的轶事和有限的文件证据表明，前线是海鸟的重要觅食区。(C)北京：科学出版社.
Seabird counts were carried out along six transects across a tidal mixing front in the western Irish Sea using, for the first time, a combination of conventional visual bird observation techniques and very high-resolution mapping of frontal structure using an undulating CTD. Four seabird species were clearly aggregated at a precisely defined frontal boundary. Flocks of seabirds were found to change location over short rime periods (hours), maintaining their position relative to the surface physical parameters and the subsurface thermocline. Results confirmed considerable anecdotal and limited documentary evidence that suggest fronts are important feeding areas for seabirds. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
