The Coastal Transition Zone program
Abstract
Filaments are cold surface features often found in eastern boundary current regions. A typical filament originates near the shelf and extends as a narrow (100 km or less) tongue extending hundreds of kilometers offshore. These features represent the main focus of the the Coastal Transition Zone program, which took place in 1987 and 1988 off the northern coast of California. The historical background for the program is discussed, as well as the questions that motivated it. The general approach of the program is described, followed by an overview of the initial findings, representing a summary of our current understanding of these features and their relation with eastern boundary current dynamics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
