The steep slope on the northern side of Georges Bank and its location in the Fundy-Maine tidal system result in a persistent summertime frontal system comprising a tidal-mixing front and a stratified tide-topography interaction at the Bank edge. Recent field studies have provided a high-resolution description of the circulation, hydrographic structure and mixing in the region. Frontal features include an along-front residual jet, a surface convergence zone, regular variations in frontal structure and position over the tidal period and tidal modulation cycle, largeamplitude internal waves, and strong spatial and temporal variations in small-scale turbulence. The observations suggest that the magnitude of cross-front and vertical exchange in frontal regions can be site-specific depending on the relative importance of the underlying physical processes.
