Mooring positions for the Scotian Shelf cross-over array in Northeast Channel and on southwestern Browns and northeastern Georges Banks.
Triangles indicate nominal positions for biweekly drifter deployments.
There appears to be a clear correlation with some of the cross-over periods identified in the moored records. Of the potential dynamical processes driving the cross-over phenomenon, wind forcing does not appear to be the primary player, based on a close inspection of the wind stress records from the Georges Bank met.
