Wind-driven transport occurs on nearly all of the world's continental shelves. A workshop, open to all interested scientists, was
held in Portland, Oregon, on July 14-16, 1993, to assess the need for a major interdisciplinary study, and to begin defining the
relevant questions and approaches. Specific questions were posed in the areas of air-sea feedback, sources and sinks of chemicals in
the euphotic zone, plankton distributions and benthic exchanges. The consensus of the entire workshop was that a CoOP study of
wind-drven transport processes should be made and should take place over the continental margin adjacent to the U.S. west coast.
The central question to be addressed is: What processes control the cross-margin transport of biological, chemical and geological
materials in a strongly wind-driven system? Some recommendations were made for locations and measurement techniques to be
used in the envisioned two-year field program.

Wind-driven modification of the Alaskan coastal current
Shroyer, Emily L.; Plueddemann, Albert J. (American Geophysical Union, 2012-03-20)Across-shelf transects over the eastern flank of Barrow Canyon were obtained in August 2005 with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Here, the shelf topography creates a “choke” point in which a substantial portion of ... -
Programs for computing properties of coastal-trapped waves and wind-driven motions over the continental shelf and slope
Brink, Kenneth H.; Chapman, David C. (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1987-06)Documentation and listings are presented for a sequence of computer programs to be used for problems in continental shelf dynamics. Three of the programs are to be used for computing properties of free and forced coas ... -
