Sea surface height and geostrophic velocity variability in the California current system as observed from the TOPEX altimeter

Creator:: Righi, Dylan D.
Abstract:: Eight years (1994-2000) of data from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter are used to investigate the variability of the sea surface height and geostrophic velocity of the California Current system. The TOPEX/Posiedon satellite measures SSH along an exact-repeat set of groundtracks with a 10-day repeat cycle. In the domain studied here...

An investigation of the distribution and abundance of ichthyoplankton and juvenile benthic fishes in relation to nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current system

Creator:: Johnson, Angela M.
Abstract:: Nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current (NCC) system is a seasonal phenomenon caused by coastal upwelling and occurs mainly during late-summer and early fall. The effects of low oxygen levels on fish and invertebrate communities, particularly during early-life history stages, however, are poorly known for this area. I investigated...

An analysis of upwelling off the south-east Arabian coast during the summer monsoon

Creator:: Bottero, J. S.
Abstract:: A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...

Currents and water masses at the entrance to the Gulf of California, spring 1970

Creator:: Alvarez Sanchez, Luis Gustavo
Abstract:: Hydrographic data and drogue observations were used to describe the circulation and water masses in the upper 500 meters of the region of the entrance to the Gulf of California in the early spring of 1970. The thermohaline structure of the water and the general circulation in the vicinity of...

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...

Dietary responses of marine predators to variable oceanographic conditions in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Gladics, Amanda J.
Abstract:: Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects propagating up to higher trophic levels. Our goal was to better understand how varying ocean conditions influence diets and niche overlap among a suite of low- to mid trophic level predators. We studied the...
