Oceanography Figure Contrast-stretched (14<DN<22; n=2) negative MSS-4 image of an eddy over Diamond Shoals, North Carolina (ERTS ID 1186-15093), observed on 25 January 1973. A deep penetration of water from north of Cape Hatteras can be seen as part of the cyclonic eddy developing over the shoals. The Gulf Stream front appears to be well offshore of the eddy front. Meander scale in the Gulf Stream appears to be about 50 km with an amplitude of about 1
. Collected reprints / Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories [and] Pacific Oceanographic Laboratories. Oceanography Figure Contrast-stretched (14<DN<22; n=2) negative MSS-4 image of an eddy over Diamond Shoals, North Carolina (ERTS ID 1186-15093), observed on 25 January 1973. A deep penetration of water from north of Cape Hatteras can be seen as part of the cyclonic eddy developing over the shoals. The Gulf Stream front appears to be well offshore of the eddy front. Meander scale in the Gulf Stream appears to be about 50 km with an amplitude of about 10 km. Details in the sediment suspension patterns support the notion of multiple fronts, probably tidally pumped and advected by alongshore current patterns. Streaks can be seen in the current at the lower right and may be internal wave activity. Horizontal distance across the inage is 90 km. 444.
