Satellite-based detection and monitoring of phytoplankton blooms along the Oregon coast

Creator:

McKibben, S. M., Strutton, P. G., Foley, D. G., Peterson, T. D., and White, A. E.

Abstract:

We have applied a normalized difference algorithm to 8 day composite chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line height (FLH) imagery obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft in order to detect and monitor phytoplankton blooms in the Oregon coastal region. The resulting bloom products, termed CHL[subscript rel]...

Jet stream intraseasonal oscillations drive dominant ecosystem variations in Oregon’s summertime coastal upwelling system

Creator:

Bane, John M., Spitz, Yvette H., Letelier, Ricardo M., and Peterson, William T.

Abstract:

Summertime wind stress along the coast of the northwestern United States typically exhibits intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) with periods from ≈15 to 40 days, as well as fluctuations on the 2- to 6-day “weather-band” and 1-day diurnal time scales. Coastal upwelling of cool, nutrient-rich water is driven by extended periods of...
