  • Simulation of tropical pacific circulation anomalies with linear atmosphere and ocean models

    Creator:
    Dixit, Sanjay
    Abstract:
    A simple atmosphere and ocean model of relevance to El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is discussed. Both the atmosphere and ocean models are two layer, three dimensional, linear and baroclinic, and generally follow the Oregon State University coupled general circulation model. However, the parameterization differs considerably from previous work...

  • El Nino related variations in nutrient and chlorophyll distributions off Oregon

    Creator:
    Corwith, Holly L.
    Abstract:
    The Oregon continental shelf waters are typically characterized by four to five major upwelling events that occur between May and October. The upwelled water is rich in nutrients, which fuels an increase in phytoplankton biomass. The onset of El Nino, however, can disrupt the normal physical processes along the Oregon...

  • ENSO impacts on pelagic ecosystems in the Eastern Pacific, with emphasis on fishery resources

    Creator:
    Alvial, Adolfo L.
    Abstract:
    Many new research and monitoring projects, developed or initiated during ENSO 1982-83, constituted detailed descriptions of changes in specific taxa or specific processes. However, only a few projects were opportunely started or continued as regional efforts in the eastern Pacific. For those reasons, the information obtained is difficult to compare....
