  • Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

    Creator:
    Evans, William Wiley
    Abstract:
    Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...

  • Inner-shelf circulation off the central Oregon Coast

    Kirincich, Anthony R.
    Abstract:
    Inner-shelf circulation and mechanisms of across-shelf transport of water masses were examined using seven years of observations collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) program, a long-term monitoring effort along the central Oregon coast. Since 1998, moored velocity and hydrographic measurements have been obtained during the...
