Upwelling bays: How coastal upwelling controls circulation, habitat, and productivity in bays

JL Largier - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

The fate and impact of internal waves in nearshore ecosystems

CB Woodson - Annual review of marine science, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Internal waves are widespread features of global oceans that play critical roles in mixing and
thermohaline circulation. Similarly to surface waves, internal waves can travel long …

Internal waves influence the thermal and nutrient environment on a shallow coral reef

EC Reid, TM DeCarlo, AL Cohen… - Limnology and …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Internal waves can influence water properties in coastal ecosystems through the shoreward

[HTML][HTML] Effects of basin-scale climate modes and upwelling on nearshore marine heatwaves and cold spells in the California Current

M Dalsin, RK Walter, PLF Mazzini - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Marine heatwaves and cold spells (MHWs/MCSs) have been observed to be increasing
globally in frequency and intensity based on satellite remote sensing and continue to pose a …

Drivers of biogeochemical variability in a central California kelp forest: implications for local amelioration of ocean acidification

HK Hirsh, KJ Nickols, Y Takeshita… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Kelp forests are among the world's most productive marine ecosystems, and they have the

Coupled changes in pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen impact the physiology and ecology of herbivorous kelp forest grazers

EM Donham, LT Strope, SL Hamilton… - Global Change …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding species' responses to upwelling may be especially important in light of
ongoing environmental change. Upwelling frequency and intensity are expected to increase …

The dynamics of breaking internal solitary waves on slopes

RS Arthur, OB Fringer - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Using direct numerical simulations (DNS), we investigate the structure and energetics of
breaking internal waves on slopes. We employ a Navier–Stokes code in an idealized three …

Declining oxygen is one of the most drastic changes in the ocean, and this trend is expected
to worsen under future climate change scenarios. Spatial variability in dissolved oxygen …

Stratified turbulence in the nearshore coastal ocean: Dynamics and evolution in the presence of internal bores

RK Walter, ME Squibb, CB Woodson… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
High‐frequency measurements of stratified turbulence throughout the water column were
collected over a 2 week period in the nearshore environment of southern Monterey Bay, CA …

Fate of internal waves on a shallow shelf
