Those shed by western bound ary currents must then interact with shelf-slope topography at the western boundary.\n\nThis simple picture is complicated by the presence of other eddies and mean flows\, but satellite observations show that many western boundary continental shelves are affected by mesoscale eddies translating near the shelfbreak. In this SST image\, a Gulf Stream Warm Core Ring (ant icyclone) transports cold fresh shelf water offshore across the Mid-Atlant ic Bight shelfbreak. Using idealized numerical simulations\, I address thr ee questions:\n\n1. Does the eddy always get to the shelfbreak\, or can sl oping topography stop an eddy from crossing it?\n2. What is the magnitude of offshore transport driven by these eddies?\n3. What is the effect of th e eddy on the shelf's flow field?
