  • Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in northern Monterey Bay, California. The experiment was sponsored by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)...

  • 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...

  • Detection of Physical and Biological Fronts in the Northern California Current System and the Drivers Behind Their Seasonal to Interannual Variability

    Creator:
    Jamil, Aliya L.
    Abstract:
    Oceanic fronts mark the boundary between two water masses and are often sites of complex bio-physical processes and multi-trophic level interactions, making them particularly important features in marine ecosystems. As global climate change induces multi-scale shifts in the driving physical mechanisms of fronts, spatiotemporal tracking of frontal variability can aid...

  • MicroSoar : a high speed microstructure profiling system

    Creator:
    May, Glenn H.
    Abstract:
    As ocean ecosystems continue to deteriorate in the face of human induced pressures, marine management professionals are increasingly being urged to predict the impacts of various activities on ocean ecosystems. Many ecosystem interactions are still not adequately understood, so managers often turn to scientists to provide data and analysis on...
