Abstract
Abstract Between 2 March and 13 May 1983, while using in situ and satellite data, three cold perturbations were observed off the West Florida Shelf. These perturbations moved southward along the boundary of the Loop Current at speeds of about 4 to 10 km day−1. Geostrophic current and current meter data indicated a cyclonic circulation associated with the cold perturbations. The geostrophic current indicated northward flow on the west side of the warm filaments that formed on the shoreward side of the cold perturbation, and weak southward flow on the east side. However, the current meter data only gave indications of northward flow in the filaments. The current meter array may not have been able to discriminate the entire flow pattern in the filaments.
