Upwelling of nutrient-rich, subsurface water sustains high productivity in the ocean's eastern
boundary currents. These ecosystems support a rate of fish harvest nearly 100 times the …

Summertime Coupling between Sea Surface Temperature and Wind Stress in the California
Current System in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 37 Issue 3 (2007) Jump to …

Abstract The summertime California Current System (CCS) is characterized by energetic
mesoscale eddies, whose sea surface temperature (SST) and surface current can …

The coastal ocean environment off California is largely determined by wind‐driven coastal
upwelling, with an ecosystem that is tightly coupled to seasonality in this upwelling. Three …

The ability of miniscule larvae to control their fate and replenish populations in dynamic
marine environments has been a long‐running topic of debate of central importance for …

My purpose in this book is to bring together in one place a summary of the voluminous
information relevant to fisheries oceanography that has been published during the more …

Nitrate supply by coastal upwelling has been estimated for four eastern boundary regions
(Benguela, California, Northwest Africa and Peru) by combining surface winds measured …

The oceanic circulation in the Southern California Bight (SCB) is influenced by the large-
scale California Current offshore, tropical remote forcing through the coastal wave guide …

The interaction of alongshore coastal currents with large headlands has been shown to
increase the retention of planktonic organisms through the formation of headland eddies or …

The “Wind Events and Shelf Transport”(WEST) program was an interdisciplinary study of
coastal upwelling off northern California in 2000–03. WEST was comprised of modeling and …
