  3. The Challenge “Shelf waters deeper than 3 meters and shallower than about 30 meters have often been ignored in the past because of the very difficult operating conditions and the complex dynamics, where the water is filled with turbulent boundary layers.” Ken H. Brink 12/12/97 Observational Coastal Oceanography National Science Foundation OCE Workshops http://www.joss.ucar.edu/joss_psg/project/oce_workshop
