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:: Keister, Julie Eileen and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: We used wavelet analyses of sea surface height (SSH) from >13 years of satellite altimeter data to characterize the variability in mesoscale circulation in the northern California Current (35°N–49°N) and explore the mechanisms of variability. We defined ‘‘mesoscale’’ circulation as features, such as eddies and filaments, which have 50- to...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Allen, John S., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Past measurements off the coast of central Oregon and Washington have shown that the rapid change from northward monthly mean winter winds to southward summer winds forces a "spring transition" of the coastal ocean: sea levels and temperatures drop, and mean surface currents shift from northward to southward. Current and...

Creator:: Thomas, A. C. and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: Previously published physical and biological data document a zonally oriented frontal region within the California Current system separating colder and more eutrophic water north of ≈33°N from warmer; more stratified, and oligotrophic water farther to the south. Satellite images of phytoplankton pigment from the coastal zone color scanner from 1979-1983...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Allen, John S., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, and Beardsley, R. C.
Abstract:: Seasonal cycles of coastal wind stress, adjusted sea level (ASL), shelf currents, and water temperatures off the west coast of North America (35°N to 48°N) are estimated by fitting annual and semiannual harmonics to data from 1981-1983. Longer records (9-34 years) of monthly ASL indicate that these two harmonics adequately...

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...

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:: 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...
