We present shipboard observations of high-frequency internal waves (IW) propagating through the Winyah Bay plume on South Atlantic Bight shelf (the US East Coast). Two surveys are analyzed: 6-7 June, 2023, and 23-24 May, 2024. On both occasions, was affected by a moderate upwelling-favorable wind resulting in significant offshore spreading plume, well beyond its natural (unforced) limit. While stratification conditions were roughly comparable years, IWs exhibited very different behavior,...
