The work describes the drivers of spring and summer variability within the coastal ocean east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a critical link between the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight, are investigated using two years of shipboard and moored hydrographic and velocity observations from 2010 and 2011.'
