Presentation by Dr. Vincent Rossi, oceanographer at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council, Published on May 26, 2014 (emphasis added):

Pacific Northwest

Slide at 49:30 in — Northern shelves: jet-like advection of the surface plume explain the short but intense exposure.
42:20 in — You can see that it is not a homogenous advection, you’ve got this jet here. This jet was consistent across the ensembles, and it’s been observed also in other studies. It advected the plume faster, at about 40°N [latitude].
49:30 in — The surface plume is traveling very fast toward the coast of the US.
50:45 in — The northern shelf, we have the jet-like convection that creates the first impact with elevated concentrations.
