The Costa Rica Dome : a study of physics, zooplankton and blue whales

Creator:

Matteson, Robyn S.

Abstract:

At the Costa Rica Dome (CRD), upwelling associated with cyclonic circulation and the presence of a shallow thermocline support a highly productive biological habitat, exploited by marine fauna at several trophic levels. During January 2008, a cruise to the CRD by the R/V Pacific Storm was conducted to relocate blue...

Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

Creator:

Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela

Abstract:

A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...

Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:

Keister, Julie Eileen

Abstract:

In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...
