Shelf Fronts

Shelf Fronts is a physical oceanographic phenomenon characterized as a persistent, semi-regular boundary zone on the continental shelf where distinct water masses of differing temperature, salinity, or density converge and interact, giving rise to enhanced vertical mixing, nutrient transport, and biological productivity.
