Shelf-break Fronts

Shelf-Break Fronts is an oceanic front characterized by a sharp lateral gradient in water properties, such as temperature and salinity, that forms at the boundary between the continental shelf and the deeper ocean, where abrupt topographic change induces baroclinic circulation and mesoscale dynamical processes.
