Cross-shore exchange on the inner shelf has important impacts on the ecosystem, transporting heat, nutrients, pollutants and phytoplankton between the midshelf and surf zone. The effects of a strong (cross-shore wind stress, Tsx 0.05Pa) diurnal (7-25 hrs) sea breeze on cross-shore exchange at Marina, Monterey Bay, California is investigated using two years of continuous winds, waves, and ocean velocities. Surface wind stress has spectral peaks at 1, 2, and 3 ...
