A few examples of our work are shown below. The collection of images, together with other airborne, satellite, and in-situ measurements taken during the experiment provide a unique study of the temporal evolution of a converging front. The experiment also contributed to the merging of experimental data from multiple sources and the theoretical modeling needed to better understand the underlying dynamics as well as posing questions for future research. The location of the front is characterized by small scale breaking and is marked by a high radar cross section. Evidence of the current can be seen in the movement of the buoys northward as the front passes each of them in the movie sequence.
