The energy budget of a pumice desert surface was analyzed under clear skies during early, mid-and late summer periods. The pumice site is in the semi-arid plateau region of Central Oregon at an elevation of about 1500 meters. The flat pumice surface is approximately 250 hectares in extent, and is...
Lagrangian particle-tracking models (LPTMs) were used to identify sources, destinations, and transport pathways of particles (plankton). The LPTM simulations were forced using stored fields from the Spectral Element Ocean Model simulation for a coastal upwelling system having idealized geometry, bathymetry, and simple wind forcing. Forward-in-time-trajectory (FITT) simulations are common in...
