Bi-weekly sampling of zooplankton and environmental parameters was conducted along a cross-shelf transect off the coast of Newport, OR, USA (44.65°N) from 1996 to present. Results have demonstrated the feasibility of us ...

We measured iron concentrations off the Oregon coast in spring (May–June) and summer (August) of 2001 as part of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) program. Dissolvable and total dissolvable iron lev ...

Physical, optical, and acoustical data from Monterey Bay, California, USA, describing the distributions of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and small fish as well as gradients in the physical habitat were used to examine the ...

The first seagoing test of a prototype laser/fiber-optic system for in situ detection of ocean chlorophyll fluorescence is described. Radiation at 488 nm originating from a shipboard argon laser was transmitted through 2 ...

High concentrations of chlorophyll are found in the California Current System over 300 km offshore, far from the productive coastal upwelling region, and between 150 and 250 m, well below the depth to which photosynthe ...

Variation in bacterial abundance and activity was assessed by sampling the upper 35 to 80 m of the water column during 2 to 5 d periods at 3 sites: eutrophic-mesotrophic midshelf, mesotrophic-oligotrophic slope, and ol ...

A new in situ fluorometer for the detection of oceanic photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is described. Emission spectra from 546 to 733 nm are recorded for each of three different visible excitation bands ten times a ...
