Influence of upwelling-season coastal currents on near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations over a submarine bank

Creator:

Adams, Katherine A.

Abstract:

Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...
