Phytoplankton and microbial abundance and bloom dynamics in the upwelling shadow of Monterey Bay , California , from 2006 to 2013
Wind-driven upwelling variability and local topography cause an upwelling shadow in the northern region of Monterey Bay, California, to persist seasonally. The present study applied partial least squares regression to a 7-yr time series collected within this retentive feature for the purpose of evaluating the environmental controls on total autotrophic phytoplankton (as chlorophyll a) and picop...
متن کاملNutrient Loading through Submarine Groundwater Discharge and Phytoplankton Growth in Monterey Bay, CA.
We quantified groundwater discharge and associated nutrient fluxes to Monterey Bay, California, during the wet and dry seasons using excess (224)Ra as a tracer. Bioassay incubation experiments were conducted to document the response of bloom-forming phytoplankton to submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) input. Our data indicate that the high nutrient content (nitrate and silica) in groundwater ...
متن کاملMarine debris in central California: quantifying type and abundance of beach litter in Monterey Bay, CA.
Monitoring beach litter is essential for reducing ecological threats towards humans and wildlife. In Monterey Bay, CA information on seasonal and spatial patterns is understudied. Central California's coastal managers require reliable information on debris abundance, distribution, and type, to support policy aimed at reducing litter. We developed a survey method that allowed for trained citizen...
متن کاملModeling tides in Monterey Bay, California
from the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS), has three one-way nested domains with the finest resolution of 1.6 km in the horizontal direction and 32 levels in the vertical direction. In present research, the tidal simulation of the system is validated against tide gauges, ADCP current observations, high-frequency radar surface-current observations, and compared with the output from two baro...
متن کاملOptimal Pollution Mitigation in Monterey Bay
High-frequency (HF) radar technology produces detailed velocity maps near the surface of estuaries and bays. The use of velocity data in environmental prediction, nonetheless, remains unexplored. In this paper, we uncover a striking flow structure in coastal radar observations of Monterey Bay, along the California coastline. This complex structure governs the spread of organic contaminants, suc...
