Coupled ocean-atmosphere interaction at oceanic mesoscales

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Xie, Shang-Ping
Abstract:: Satellite observations have revealed a remarkably strong positive correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and surface winds on oceanic mesoscales of 10–1000 km. Although SST influence on the atmosphere had previously been identified from several in situ observational studies, its widespread existence in regions of strong SST gradients throughout the...

Hydroacoustic monitoring of oceanic spreading centers: Past, present, and future

Creator:: Dziak, Robert P., Bohnenstiehl, Delwayne R., and Smith, Deborah K.
Abstract:: Mid-ocean ridge volcanism and extensional faulting are the fundamental processes that lead to the creation and rifting of oceanic crust, yet these events go largely undetected in the deep ocean. Currently, the only means available to observe seafloor-spreading events in real time is via the remote detection of the seismicity...

Mapping Atmospheric Moisture Climatologies across the Conterminous United States

Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Smith, Joseph I., and Olson, Keith V.
Abstract:: Spatial climate datasets of 1981–2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution. Interpolation of long-term averages (twelve monthly values per variable) was performed using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model). Surface stations...

Salmon Management in Southeast Alaska: An Examination of Multi-Dimensional Management

Creator:: Chrittenden, Whitney L.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...

Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

Creator:: Marshall, Abigail C.
Abstract:: Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

Annual Costs of Wild Salmon Restoration Efforts in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Rice, Robert J.
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to estimate the total annual cost of salmon recovery efforts throughout the Columbia River Basin from all stakeholders, including direct and indirect costs. How much is spent on salmon recovery efforts each year in the Columbia River Basin? Depending on who you ask, you...

Biodiversity and ecology of lichens of Katmai and Lake Clark National Parks and Preserves, Alaska

Creator:: McCune, B., Arup, U., Breuss, O., Di Meglio, E., Di Meglio, J., Esslinger, T. L., Magain, N., Miadlikowska, J., Miller, A. E., Muggia, L., Nelson, P. R., Rosentreter, R., Schultz, M., Sheard, J. W., Tonsberg, T., and Walton, J.
Abstract:: We inventoried lichens in Lake Clark (LACL) and Katmai (KATM) National Parks and Preserves. We assembled the known information on lichens in these parks by combining field, herbarium, and literature studies. Our results provide baseline data on lichen occurrence that may be used in resource condition assessments, vulnerability assessments, long-term...

Spatial patterns and trends of summertime low cloudiness for the Pacific Northwest, 1996-2017

Creator:: Dye, Alex W., Rastogi, Bharat, Clemesha, Rachel E. S., Kim, John B., Samelson, Roger M., Still, Christopher J., and Williams, A. Park
Abstract:: Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...

The Power of Three: Coral Reefs, Seagrasses and Mangroves Protect Coastal Regions and Increase Their Resilience

Creator:: Guannel, Greg, Arkema, Katie, Ruggiero, Peter, and Verutes, Gregory
Abstract:: Natural habitats have the ability to protect coastal communities against the impacts of waves and storms, yet it is unclear how different habitats complement each other to reduce those impacts. Here, we investigate the individual and combined coastal protection services supplied by live corals on reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove...

Eddy dynamics from satellite altimetry

Creator:: Fu, Lee-Lueng, Chelton, Dudley B., Le Traon, Pierre-Yves, and Morrow, Rosemary
Abstract:: Most of the kinetic energy of ocean circulation is contained in ubiquitous mesoscale eddies. Their prominent signatures in sea surface height have rendered satellite altimetry highly effective in observing global ocean eddies. Our knowledge of ocean eddy dynamics has grown by leaps and bounds since the advent of satellite altimetry...
