Monthly composite images from the global coastal zone color scanner
(CZCS) data set are used to provide an initial illustration and comparison of seasonal
and interannual variability of phytoplankton pigment concentration along the western
coasts of South and North America in the Peru Current system (PCS) and California
Current system...
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...
