Wind-driven response of the Hudson River Plume and its effect on dissolved oxygen concentrations

The Lagrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment (LaTTE) study of the Hudson River Plume has now completed 2 of its 3 field seasons. The interdisciplinary study is being conducted in a sustained coastal research observatory that provides a spatial and temporal context for adaptive shipboard sampling. Observations from the second LaTTE field season are used here to describe the processes responsible for a previously unexplained recurrent hypoxia region along the New Jersey coast.
