Creator:: Espinosa-Carreon, T. Leticia, Strub, P. Ted, Beier, Emilio, Ocampo-Torres, Francisco, and Gaxiola-Castro, Gilberto
Abstract:: Mean fields, seasonal cycles, and interannual variability are examined for fields of satellite-derived chlorophyll pigment concentrations (CHL), sea surface height (SSH), and sea surface temperature (SST) during 1997–2002. The analyses help to identify three dynamic regions: an upwelling zone next to the coast, the Ensenada Front in the north, and...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted and Powell, Thomas M.
Abstract:: A numerical model has been used to investigate the wind-driven circulation in a stratified basin of moderate size, Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada. Two types of circulation are identified: "direct" circulations, in which the current directions remain relatively constant and the mean circulation formed over several days resembles the instantaneous circulation, and...

Creator:: Blanco, Jose Luis, Carr, Mary-Elena, Thomas, Andrew C., and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: The evolution of oceanographic conditions in the upwelling region off northern Chile (18°–24°S) between 1996 and 1998 (including the 1997–1998 El Niño) is presented using hydrographic measurements acquired on quarterly cruises of the Chilean Fisheries Institute, with sea surface temperature (SST), sea level, and wind speeds from Arica (18.5°S), Iquique...

Creator:: Thomas, A. C. and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: A 5-year time series of coastal zone color scanner imagery (1980-1983, 1986) is used to examine changes in the large-scale pattern of chlorophyll pigment concentration coincident with the spring transition in winds and currents along the west coast of North America. The data show strong interannual variability in the timing...

Creator:: Venegas, Roberto M., Strub, P. Ted, Beier, Emilio, Letelier, Ricardo M., Thomas, Andrew C., Cowles, Timothy J., James, Corinne, Soto-Mardones, Luis, and Cabrera, Carlos
Abstract:: Satellite-derived data provide the temporal means and seasonal and nonseasonal variability of four physical and biological parameters off Oregon and Washington (41°–48.5°N). Eight years of data (1998–2005) are available for surface chlorophyll concentrations, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface height, while six years of data (2000–2005) are available for...

Creator:: Kelly, Kathryn A. and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: Two methods of estimating surface velocity vectors from advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data were applied to the same set of images and the results were compared with in situ and altimeter measurements. The first method used and automated feature –tracking algorithm and the second method used an inversion...

Creator:: Saraceno, M., Strub, P. Ted, and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Present methods used to retrieve altimeter data do not provide reliable estimates of sea surface height (SSH) in the nearshore region, resulting in a measurement gap of 25–50 km next to the coast. In the present work, gridded SSH fields produced by Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data...
