Temperature-salinity correlations, middle domain (SHELF) and oceanic domain (ALASKA ). Envelopes drawn from data gathered in August 1976 and May 1977 illustrate the warmer and saltier oceanic water at the same density as the cooler and fresher shelf water, and interleaving occurs across the outer domain. (From Coachman and Charnell 1979.) Pingree (1978) summarized features of similar fronts over the European continental shelf. The shelf break and middle fronts are less clearly describable. Overlying the continental slope, the shelf break front separates the oceanic domain from the outer domain, but the width of this front is similar to that of the outer domain. Similarly, the middle front which divides the middle and outer domains near the 100 m isobath (Fig. 4-1) is broad and ill-defined compared to the inner front. Never- theless, the shelf break and middle fronts aire both real and important components of the hydrographic structure. Kinder and Coachman (1978) described the shelf break front and recognized its essentially haline character. The front is revealed by a change in the horizontal salinity gradient (from nearly zero over the deep basin to about 4 X 10"^ g/kg/km over the outer
