Transport of water between the coast and deeper ocean, across continental shelf, is an important process for distribution biota, nutrients, suspended dissolved material on shelf. Presence denser inner shelf results in a cross-shelf density gradient that drives gravitational circulation with offshore transport along sea bed defined as Dense Shelf Water Cascade (DSWC). Analysis field data, collected from multiple ocean glider data missions around Australia, confirmed under range wind tidal...
Along the majority of Australian shallow coastal regions, summer evaporation increases salinity waters, and subsequently in autumn/winter, nearshore waters become cooler due to heat loss. This results formation horizontal density gradients with increasing toward coast that generates gravity currents known as dense shelf water cascades (DSWCs) flowing offshore along sea bed. DSWCs play important role ecological biogeochemical processes through transport dissolved suspended materials offshore....
