This project will study the coastal current flowing south along southern New Jersey and Delaware using data collected during an intense field program. Specific objectives include determina- tion of the spatial structure of the current, including details of the merging of its New Jersey and Delaware branches near or within Delaware Bay, and the existence of wave-like or eddy structure in the current. Further objectives include assess- ment of the across shore and alongshore momentum balances using CTD, acoustic doppler, and current meter data.

该项目将利用在紧张的实地项目中收集的数据来研究沿着新泽西州南部和特拉华州南部流动的沿海流。 具体目标包括确定洋流的空间结构，包括新泽西州和特拉华州分支在特拉华湾附近或内部合并的细节，以及洋流中是否存在波状或涡流结构。 进一步的目标包括使用 CTD、声学多普勒和海流计数据评估跨岸和沿岸动量平衡。
