Horizontal transport and the distribution of nutrients in the coastal transition zone off Northern California: effects on primary production, phytoplankton biomass and species composition

Creator:: Chavez, Francisco P., Barber, Richard T., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Timothy P., and Rojas de Mendiola, Blanca
Abstract:: Conductivity‐temperature‐depth surveys during 1988 encountered strong baroclinic jets that were evident in acoustic Doppler current profiler and hydrographic data. During June and July 1988 a filament with high surface nitrate, high chlorophyll, abundant populations of neritic centric diatoms, and higher rates of primary production was evident perpendicular to the coast...

Currents and water masses of the coastal transition zone off Northern California, June to August 1988

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Fleischbein, Jane, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Tim, Washburn, Libe, Chavez, Francisco P., Cowles, Timothy J., Pierce, Stephen D., and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between 37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...

Dynamics of the Coastal Transition Zone though data assimilation studies

Creator:: Walstad, Leonard J., Allen, J. S., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, and Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: The dynamics of the coastal transition zone off Northern California during late May and early June 1987 art examined through assimilation modeling studies. A regional baroclinic quasi-geostrophic model is driven by the data through initial and boundary conditions. These initial and boundary conditions are specified by objective analysis of hydrographic...

The nature of the cold filaments in the California current system

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Brink, K. H., Hayward, T., Niiler, Pearn P., James, C., Dewey, R., Walstad, L., Chavez, F., Ramp, S., Mackas, D. L., Swenson, M., Washburn, L. A., Barth, John A., Hood, R. R., Abbott, Mark R., Kadko, D., Barber, R., Haidvogel, D., Batteen, M., and Haney, R.
Abstract:: Data from the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment are used to describe the velocity fields and water properties associate with cold filaments in the California Current. Combined with previous field surveys and satellite imagery, these show seasonal variability with maximum dynamic height ranges and velocities in summer and minimum values...

Surface patterns in temperature, flow, phytoplankton biomass, and species composition in the coastal transition zone of northern California

Creator:: Hood, Raleigh R., Abbott, Mark R., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Satellite thermal imagery and in situ biological and physical data are presented that describe the spatial variability of phytoplankton biomass and species composition in relation to the physical structure at the sea surface during persistent upwelling off northern California. Surface patterns in temperature, geostrophic velocity, chlorophyll, and particle size structure...

The structure of the transition zone between coastal waters and the open ocean off northern California, winter and spring 1987

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Ramp, S. R., Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Chavez, F. P., Cowles, Timothy J., Abbott, Mark R., Strub, P. Ted, Barber, R. T., Jessen, P., and Small, Lawrence F.
Abstract:: Physical and biological fields in the coastal transition zone off northern California were measured during February, March, May and June 1987 in an extended alongshore region between 60 km and 150 km offshore. The spring transition, as seen in coastal sea level and winds, occurred in mid-March. Surface variability during...

Upper ocean thermohaline fields near 2°S, 156°E, during the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere - Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, November 1992 to February 1993

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Lukas, Roger, and Hacker, Peter
Abstract:: Zonal and meridional Seasoar sections centered at 1°50’S, 156°06’E were repeated >30 times in three 20-day periods between November 13, 1992, and February 15, 1993. Both sections were 130 km long, and sampling depth was 0–280 m, with a vertical resolution of ~2 dbar (2 x 104 Pa) and a...

Abstract:: This report summarizes the Seasoar and CTD observations from Wecoma cruises W9306A (5 June to 12 July, 1993) and W9308B (14 August to 22 September 1993) conducted as part of the Eastern Boundary Currents Accelerated Research Initiative, under funding by the Office of Naval Research. The cruises were designed to...

Preliminary Cruise Report, W9909C, R/V WECOMA, 22-27 September 1999 : GLOBEC/ENSO Long-Term Observations off Oregon

Creator:: Fleischbein, Jane, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Wheeler, Patricia A., Peterson, W. T., and Barth, Jack A.
Abstract:: PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net tow stations along 4 lines (off Newport, Coos Bay, Crescent City and Eureka), to make additional stations along a fifth line (off...
