The drift of bottles and transponding drift buoys over the Georges Bank area show that, with the exception of midsummer when the Gcorgcs eddy is most pronounced and southerly winds predominate, surface drift is offshore in the direction of the slope water band. Indications are that the currents below the surface move at a slower rate than at the surface, but in a similar direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
