Export of shelf waters along the Subtropical Shelf Front: A one way ticket? Our previous work leads us to believe that the STSF is a preferential site for the detrainment of shelf waters onto the deep ocean. Our studies indicate that deep-ocean waters entrained along the Patagonian and Brazilian shelves are funneled towards this front where they are fluxed offshore. In this CRN2 follow-up we propose to test this hypothesis and some of its biological and biogeochemical implications which may globally significant.
