Abstract:: Five years (1997–2002) of northern California Current SeaWiFS ocean color data put cold, low salinity hydrographic anomalies observed in summer 2002 into a spatial/temporal context and present their biological ramifications. Monthly mean chlorophyll concentrations were >1.0 mg m–3 larger than the previous 3 year average over the entire shelf from...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted and James, Corinne
Abstract:: Surface transports into the California Current are calculated from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter surface height slopes during the 9.5 year period from October 1992–May 2002. These quantify the anomalous onshore and southward displacements of the water column during the 2000–2002 period, which had been hypothesized by others based on anomalous water properties...

Creator:: Cheng, T. K., Hill, D. F., Beamer, J., and García-Medina, G.
Abstract:: Total water levels (TWLs) within estuaries are influenced by tides, wind, offshore waves, and streamflow, all of which are uniquely affected by climate change. The magnitude of TWL associated with various return periods is relevant to understanding how the hydrodynamics of a bay or estuary may evolve under distinct climate...
