Record Coastal Upwelling in the California Current in 1999
An extremely unusual level of coastal upwelling in the spring and summer of 1999 over much of the California Current system (CCS) is described, based on direct and indrect observations. Wind and ocean anomalies in 1999, a period characterized by an equatorial La Niiia, are compared to climate trends for the previous several years, and specifically contrasted with the extremes associated with th...
متن کاملSilica production in the Monterey, California, upwelling; system
Silica cycling was examined during a major upwelling event in Monterey Bay, California. Strong upwcllingfavorable winds blew for 6 d with speeds up to 15 m s ’ just prior to the study. A survey of the region near the end of the wind event showed newly upwelled water at the north end of the bay, with silicic acid concentrations up to 29.8 PM. Silicic acid concentrations decreased to a minimum of...
متن کاملWinter and summer upwelling modes and their biological importance in the California Current Ecosystem
Analysis of monthly coastal upwelling intensities revealed two seasonal and biologically relevant upwelling ‘modes’ in the California Current Ecosystem (CCE). The first mode reflected upwelling during the summer months and was characterized by low-frequency (multidecadal) processes, including significant (Po0.01) linear trends at some latitudes. In contrast, the second mode reflected wintertime...

متن کاملDelayed upwelling alters nearshore coastal ocean ecosystems in the northern California current.
Wind-driven coastal ocean upwelling supplies nutrients to the euphotic zone near the coast. Nutrients fuel the growth of phytoplankton, the base of a very productive coastal marine ecosystem [Pauly D, Christensen V (1995) Nature 374:255-257]. Because nutrient supply and phytoplankton biomass in shelf waters are highly sensitive to variation in upwelling-driven circulation, shifts in the timing ...
