Summer 2006 Surface Current Analysis on NJ Shelf: Stratified Seasonal Patterns

This study presents the mean surface current data for the New Jersey shelf during the summer months (June to September) of 2006, under all wind conditions. The flow velocity, indicated in cm/s, is visualized with color coding, while primary drilling site locations are marked as black dots. Observations reveal strong northwest winds leading to mostly downshelf flow, while northeast winds facilitate rapid onshore flow with regions of low velocity. Additionally, southeast winds impact cross-shelf transport, and east winds result in weak current across the shelf, with flow dynamics compared to previous years (2002-2005).
