See Fig. 13 for location. ward flow is anomalous with respect to the generally southward flow of the Middle At- lantic Bight and may be part of a density driven circulation associated with the mouth of Chesapeake Bay (Norcross and Stanley, 1967; Bumpus, 1969, 1973). However, during our observations, water motions correlated well in this friction-dominated nearshore regime with southerly winds, lagging (or occa- sionally leading) wind by up to 6 h (Fig. 17). During periods of strong winds, more in- tense flows result. Beardsley and Butman (1974) have noted that the geometry of the Middle Atlantic Bight tends to interact with the geometry of mid-latitude low-pressure sys- tems that move obliquely across it. If the trajectory of the storm is such that the Bight experiences mainly the westerly winds of the storm's southern half, then there may be strong short-term water movements, but little net transport of water. 996.
