  • Optics, structure and variability of the offshore Columbia River plume

    Creator:
    Saldías, Gonzalo
    Abstract:
    The Columbia River delivers the greatest amount of freshwater to the coastal ocean along the U.S. Pacific coast. This freshwater forms the Columbia River plume, a mesoscale plume with significant implications on coastal ocean physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes. The plume is transported south and offshore during the upwelling...

  • Marine Low Clouds : Radiation, Turbulence, and Forecasting

    Creator:
    Verlinden, Kathryn L.
    Abstract:
    High-resolution ship-based observations of a nearly uniform stratocumulus deck in the southeast Pacific during 17 days of the 2008 VOCALS regional experiment elucidate radiation and turbulence in the marine boundary layer (MBL). A new method for prescribing observations-based cloud properties to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model is presented and applied...

  • Modeling Transport, Retention, and Growth of Early Life Stages of Small Pelagic Fishes in the Southern Humboldt System

    Creator:
    Gomez, Fabian A.
    Abstract:
    Small pelagic fishes (SPF), such as anchovies and sardines, are ecologically important due to their large abundance and intermediate trophic position that links plankton production to upper trophic levels. They are also economically important, supporting large fisheries that contribute to one fourth of the world fish landings. Reproductive success in...

  • Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

    Creator:
    Shakun, Jeremy D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...
