In this project, P.I.'s will analyze data from a field                  program called MECCAS (Microbial Exchanges and Coupling in                      Coastal Atlantic Systems.  Objectives of the experiment were to                 determine the dynamics that control the motion of low-salinity                  water discharged onto the shelf, and to examine both                            variability of the nutrient-plankton-microbe connection within                  the plume and its relationship to physical forcing.                             Measurements were made over the continental shelf in the                        vicinity of the outflow from the Chesapeake Bay.  In addition                   to analysis of the physical oceanographic data, substantial                     interdisciplinary work will integrate these data with the                       results obtained by the biologists involved.
