Coastal ocean response to alongshore variations in topography and wind forcing

Creator:: Castelao, Renato Menezes
Abstract:: The effects of alongshore variability in topography (banks and capes) and spatial variability in the wind forcing, including the wind-stress curl, on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a combination of observations and model simulations. Satellite sea surface temperature observations are used to describe the seasonal evolution of temperature fronts...

Late quaternary oceanic circulation along the Pacific Coast of South America

Creator:: Molina-Cruz, Adolfo
Abstract:: The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...

Macroscale to local scale variation in rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics in relation to coastal upwelling

Creator:: Freidenburg, Tess L.
Abstract:: Understanding how large-scale processes (>100 kms) influence ecological communities is currently a major focus in ecology. In marine systems, coastal upwelling, a large-scale oceanographic process in which surface water pushed offshore by winds is replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water from depth, appears to cause variation in rocky intertidal communities. Along...

Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:: Reese, Douglas Charles
Abstract:: Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...

Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...
