2, Warm water observed by the ASWEPS aircraft in the south- 

 eastern quadrant of the survey area probably intruded into coastal 

 water from the Gulf Stream. This water was observed to move north- 

 ward during the survey, 



3, Chesapeake Bay water was advected seaward between Cape 

 Henry and False Cape. 



•+. Thermal structure over the Continental Shelf adjacent to 

 the Virginia Capes may be predicted if sufficient synoptic data 

 are available. Flow measurements near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay 

 would be helpful in predicting the volume of bay water advected 

 seaward.
