sea surface temperature collected by AVHRR, the right panel is sea surface chlorophyll taken
by MODIS. The bold contour line marks the 200 metre isobath at the shelf edge, the thin
contour is the 2000 metre isobath. (b) A cross-shelf edge section of density (kg m
3
, upper
panel) and chlorophyll (mg m
3
, lower panel) observed using a Batfish towed, undulating CTD
system along the bold line marked in (a), adapted from Pingree et al. (
1982
), with
