Abstract
    A theoretical analysis of the mixing associated with (horizontal) advection and dispersion is used to show that the larger scale, longer-term distribution of conservative tracers in the southern North Sea is primarily determined by the residual circulation pattern. Model estimates of this circulation have been substantiated from new year-long high-frequency radar monitoring of flow through the Dover Strait.
