COLAB members and collaborators are doing fieldwork onboard the R/V Rachel Carson, collecting data for the NSF-funded project: River Plume-Cape Interaction - Plume Separation from The Coastal Wall, Vorticity Generation And Fresh Water Retention. The study area is located on the West Coast, in the Gulf of the Farallones near San Francisco Bay, California. This project will examine the interaction of a stratified coastal plume with a cape, using combined observational and modeling approaches. High-resolution shipboard surveys and moored instrumentation near Point Reyes, California, will measure the circulation and evolution of the San Francisco Bay Plume under a range of wind and river discharge conditions.
