Summary
Abstract: Submarine canyons are common features of continental margins off both coasts of North America. The Sable Gully is a submarine canyon located approximately 40 km east of Sable Island on the eastern Scotian Shelf that separates Banquereau Bank and Sable Island Bank. It is unique among canyons on the eastern Canadian continental shelf because of it depth, steep slopes and extension far into the ... View entire text

Purpose: Results from analysis of data on circulation, current variability, cross-shelf exchange, tides and low frequency variability of hydrographic properties suggest that circulation in the Gully may play a role in localized retention of materials as well as larger scale cross-shelf transport. However, many conclusions from previous reports have depended solely on computer simulations of the circulation in the Gully. Data collected during these cruises will be used to test the models and provide new insights into the circulation of this area.
