Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Sciences, Volume 2. The AGU Monograph Series on Coastal and Estuarine Regimes is intended to provide timely summaries and reviews of major process and regional studies, both observational and theoretical, and of theoretical and numerical models. It grew out of an IAPSO/SCOR/ECOR working group initiative several years ago designed to enhance scientific communications on this topic. The series' authors and editors are drawn from the international community. The ultimate goal is to stimulate bringing the theory and observations of coastal and estuarine regimes together on the global scale.

Progress is reported on oceanographic studies in the Southeast Atlantic. Results are summarized for a study of physical oceanographic factors forcing water motion on the continental shelf and the origin of Gulf Stream intrusions; the physical oceanography of intrusions once isolated from the Gulf Stream; nutrient fluxes induced by and chemical characterization of intrusions; the effects of intrusions and coastal circulation on microorganisms, phytoplankton, and zooplankton; heavy metal distribution and inputs into coastal waters; radioisotope geochemistry; and uptake and discharge of pollutants by marine organisms.
