Abstract
This article presents an overview Of surface oceanographic features id entified by AVHRR imagery in Hecate Strait and adjacent waters surroun ding the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, an area still poor in in sit u observations. The observed features and their temporal variability a re interpreted in terms Of meteorological and hydrological forcing. Th e effects of tidal mixing are discussed through the application of a f inite element numerical model.
