STS49-83-094: Pacific Water Mass Boundary Another long, linear
front was photographed within the sunglint pattern of the N. Pa-
cific (20N, 146W). Surface waves with wavelengths of about 100 m
are also seen crossing the front, but are not noticeably affected
by the front. Without additional information, it is difficult to
say with certainty what is causing the front, except that it
marks the boundary between two water masses that are different in
density. The water masses are likely different in temperature
and perhaps salinity as well.
