Abstract

The available potential energy over one month near the continental shelf edge does not slowly decrease during a period of strong surface heating. This indicates that an influx of cold dense water from depth is required to hold it constant. Variations in available potential energy near the continental shelf edge appear sufficiently great to be a source for the observed eddy flux of momentum to the mean flow.
