Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 34.

This is the first volume to deal exclusively with an ubiquitous feature of all the major ocean basins—the poleward-flowing surface currents and undercurrents along the continental shelf and slope of their eastern boundaries. The volume emanates from the First International Workshop held on this topic, and which was hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, in December 1986.
