The IPCC AR5 provided an overview of the likely effects of climate change on Eastern
Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS), stimulating increased interest in research examining …

From late 1995 through early 2001, three major interannual climate events occurred in the
tropical Pacific; the 1995–97 La Niña (LN), 1997–98 El Niño (EN), and 1998–2001 LN. We …

Abstract From January 2014 to August 2016, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) along the
Washington, Oregon, and California coasts were significantly warmer than usual, reaching a …

We addressed the question of bottom-up versus top-down control of marine ecosystem
trophic interactions by using annual fish catch data and satellite-derived (SeaWiFS) …

Few studies to date have demonstrated widespread biological impacts of ocean acidification
(OA) under conditions currently found in the natural environment. From a combined survey …

Due to seasonal upwelling, the upper ocean waters of the California Current System (CCS)
have a naturally low pH and aragonite saturation state (Ω arag), making this region …

The subtidal near‐surface circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) and on the shelf
north of Point Conception is described based on observations obtained during the 3‐year …

Alongshore wind speed and sea surface temperature (SST) from coastal National Data Buoy
Center buoys are used to study the variability of wind‐driven coastal upwelling from 1982 to …

Biological hot spots in the ocean are likely created by physical processes and have distinct
oceanographic signatures. Marine predators, including large pelagic fish, marine mammals …

This study combines multi-year mesoscale modeling results, validated using offshore buoys
with high-resolution bathymetry to create a wind energy resource assessment for offshore …
