SGD: Scales, Character, Distribution Rn concentration higher at intermediate depth than at surface High Rn concentration Extends from the coastline about 65 meters at depth Lens of fresher water underneath the main seawater column
Conclusions • Linking air-based and ground-based techniques provides a more comprehensive view of SGD than either technique alone • Provide clues about the scale, character, and distribution of SGD over multiple time scales and investigation scales (local to regional)
