The Optical Signature of a Bottom Boundary Layer Ventilation Event in the Northern Gulf of Mexico's Hypoxic Zone

Abstract Oceanographic observations in the northern Gulf of Mexico captured an unusual combination of atmospheric forcing and shelf frontal dynamics that brought about the surface ventilation of sediment‐laden bottom waters. Colorimetric analysis of in situ optical data indicates a specific turquois...
