A unique case of mid-Atlantic coastal frontogenesis on December 21-22, 1983 is examined to determine the evolution of the three dimensional structure of this mesoscale phenomena. Analysis of synoptic and mesoscale surface maps suggest a coastal front which moves steadily inland. However, review of temperature and wind profiles at individual stations reveals that frontogenesis actually occurs over the land in North Carolina and southern Virginia. Lagrangian and Eulerian frontogenesis process is found to be largely a result of the ageostropic flow within the cold wedge which results in weak cold air advection over the land. This northerly flow combines with a strong southerly flow over the Atlantic to increase the temperature gradient near the coastline. Analysis of kinematic variables indicates regions of relatively strong convergence and cyclonic vorticity in the region of the coastal front. Geostrophic deformation maxima coincide with the ridge of the anticyclonic bulge east of the Appalachians. Three-dimensional Lagrangian frontogenesis computations identify the shear and confluence terms as frontogenetical within the frontal zone. The tilting term is frontolytical within the frontal zone. Precipitation analyses identify the cold air side of the coastal front as favorable for enhanced precipitation. Relationships between precipitation bands and convective instability are also discussed.

The seasonality of various characteristics of the detached bottom boundary layer of the Middle Atlantic Bight shelfbreak front is examined using a collection of high resolution transects across the front. The analysis follows previous methodology in which accumulated temperature change along isopycnals within the front is used to infer the location of the detached layer. The seasonal mean isopycnal at which detachment occurs (approximately 26.0 kg cu.m) is fairly constant throughout the year. However, the vertical scale of the detached layer varies significantly with season, extending 60-80 m above the bottom in winter and spring, but only 20-40 m above the bottom in summer. The vertical scale is controlled by the strength and depth of the seasonal pycnocline. The observations suggest that the detached layer is capable of extending into the euphotic zone during winter and spring.

A region where predictive capability is sought for tactical concerns is the flow field in the vicinity of the continental shelfbreak. Sound propagation from the continental slope to the continental shelf is a complex process that is highly dependent upon the oceanographic environment. A strong thermal shelfbreak front, and its associated current, are the key features that influence acoustic propagation in many shelf regions. Theory and field data suggest that acoustic propagation is strongly affected by frontal features that can evolve on rapid temporal scales (1-2 days) and small spatial scales (10-20 km). The overall aim of this proposed work is to improve our ability to realistically model and predict the evolution of the shelfbreak front so as to advance the predictive capability of this region.

Description of the shelfbreak front in the Middle Atlantic Bight is hampered by the extreme variability of the front. In order to gain more insight into the mean frontal structure and associated baroclinic jet, historical data is used to produce two dimensional climatological fields of temperature and salinity for the region south of Nantucket shoals. Associated cross-shelf fields of density, geostrophic velocity, relative vorticity, and shallow water potential vorticity have also been computed. Historical data from a quality- controlled database (HydroBase) in the region 69-72 deg W, 39.5-41 deg N is included. Cross-shelf sections are obtained by averaging the data in nine depth bins with an average cross-shelf spacing of 10 km but an increased resolution of 4 km near the shelfbreak. The vertical averaging interval was 10 m over the shelf and upper slope waters, increasing to 50 m in the deep slope waters. The data were averaged in bimonthly periods to study seasonal trends. For inter- regional comparison, similar analyses were performed for the south flank of Georges Bank and the shelf off New Jersey. The climatological temperature and salinity are consistent with previous descriptions of the frontal hydrography. Most importantly, features such as the cold pool, the upper slope pycnostad, and the frontal boundary are well resolved when compared with synoptic sections. The temperature contrast across the front varies seasonally between 2-6 deg C near the surface and at depths of 45-65 m. The salinity contrast is 1.5-2 PSS, with little seasonal variation. The resulting cross-frontal near surface density gradients are strongest during the winter and weakest during the summer, when the seasonal thermocline is established

Half-tracks, tracked tractors, and trucks move through a muddy roads with difficulties. 11:15-21:49 - Construction of the Atlantic Wall, Atlantic Coast, 1943. Albert Speer and his colleagues inspect a large construction site on the Atlantic Wall. Members of the "Organisation Todt" at work: men are working with shovels and pickaxes, excavators and steamrollers during work. Sand and gravel are being excavated from the beach. A construction site is being covered with a large camouflage net to shield it from aerial observation and from view from the sea. Workers with axes are working on the lumber. Concrete is poured into the iron mesh and tamped down. A large crane lifts parts of the heavy gun. The barrel is pulled into position by five half-track vehicles. The gun (38 cm SK C/34 quick-loading gun) is placed in the armored rotating turret. A reinforced concrete structure is built around the turret, and then is camouflaged. Construction of the tunnel bunker: camouflage paint is applied and artillery ammunition is transported inside. A heavy railway gun (80 cm cannon) is assembled by huge cranes. A gunner climbs through the barrel to the muzzle for cleaning. A control center; a radio and telephone room. The Atlantic Wall stretched for over 5,000 kilometers along the coast of Western Europe.
