Summary
This project will train the next generation of seagoing physical oceanographers through a field campaign in the South Atlantic Bight and adjacent Gulf Stream system. Under faculty mentorship, students will design and execute a sampling strategy to investigate shelf–Gulf Stream exchange and upper-ocean variability along the continental margin. The program integrates pre-cruise planning, shipboard data collection, and post-cruise data synthesis, providing participants with experience in observational oceanography and field campaign design. It expands access to ship-based training in physical oce
