The overall aim of the "OSHI" project is the identification, measurement, interpretation, formulation and predictive modelling of physical processes at the continental shelf edge and in adjacent summer stratified shelf waters, emphasising coupling and exchange.

Project summary
- co-ordination of the physics component of the project Ocean Margin Exchange (OMEX) and flux estimation.
- measurements, primarily on the Malin-Hebrides shelf and slope in the context of the LOIS Shelf Edge Study (SES)
-
analysis of these and
previous measurements for current structures, processes and shelf-edge exchange.

Project leader: Dr J. M. Huthnance
Consultant: Mr M. J. Howarth
- development of 3-D fine resolution models focusing on the combination of stratification and bathymetry and on connectivity with wider-area models.
