Abstract
Simultaneous satellite and ship measurements have characterized the st ructure of temperature and nitrate concentration of the Shelf-Break Fr ont of the Armorican and Celtic Sea in late autumn (November) 1985. A chlorophyll-a distribution associated with this feature is analysed in relation to the shelf-break frontal genesis and properties, and in re lation to the seasonality of in situ concentrations of chlorophyll-a a t the shelf-break/slope region, adjacent shelf and adjacent ocean near similar to 47.5 degrees N.
