Barth, John A., Menge, Bruce A., Lubchenco, Jane, Chan, Francis, Bane, John M., Kirincich, Anthony R., McManus, Margaret A., Nielsen, Karina J., Pierce, Stephen D., and Washburn, Libe

Abstract:

Wind-driven coastal ocean upwelling supplies nutrients to the euphotic zone near the coast. Nutrients fuel the growth of phytoplankton, the base of a very productive coastal marine ecosystem [Pauly D, Christensen V (1995) Nature 374:255–257]. Because nutrient supply and phytoplankton biomass in shelf waters are highly sensitive to variation in...

Wind-driven inner-shelf circulation off central Oregon during summer

Creator:

Kirincich, Anthony R., Barth, John A., Grantham, Brian A., Menge, Bruce A., and Lubchenco, Jane

Abstract:

Velocity measurements from 17 deployments of moored acoustic Doppler current profilers obtained during four summer upwelling seasons are used to describe the crossshelf divergence of Ekman transport in the inner shelf off Oregon. For each deployment the measured surface and bottom cross-shelf transports were compared with estimates of the theoretical...
