Abstract

Abstract The entrance to Jervis Inlet (49°40' N, 124° W), a fjord on the coast of British Columbia, was investigated for the possible presence of a frontal zone. From the data collected on chlorophyll, primary productivity, and 15N-nitrate uptake it appears that a, frontal zone existed at one location in the inlet, but that this was not directly associated with the sill at the mouth of the inlet. The mechanism regarding the formation of this front is discussed with respect to tidal velocities.
