Modeling studies of the coastal circulation off northern California

Creator:

Pullen, Julie D.

Abstract:

By implementing a series of mass-conserving nested high-resolution models down to approximately 1 km resolution that have realistic bathymetry, coastline, wind forcing and river run-off, the winter 1996-1997 shelf flow near Cape Mendocino, California, is simulated and compared with available observations from the Strata Formation on Margins (STRATAFORM) marine geology...

Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:

Keister, Julie Eileen

Abstract:

In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...

Oceanography presented on February 21, 2008. Title: Variability in Mesoscale Circulation and its Effects
Modeled Larval Connectivity Patterns in two Coral Reef Regions : the Western Caribbean and the Kenyan-Tanzanian Shelf

Creator:

Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela

Abstract:

Tropical coral reef ecosystems are very important from both the ecological and economical points of view. However, they are also particularly fragile, and have been declining in recent years in most regions of the world, since they are highly susceptible to anthropogenic stressors operating at global scales (e.g., global warming...
