Toward Deeper Development Of Biogeochemical-Argo Floats, Xiao Gang Xing, Hervé Claustre, Emmanuel Boss, Fei Chai
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
Following a series of publications reporting on successful long-term deployments of profiling floats with various biogeochemical sensors (e.g. Boss et al. 2008; Johnson, Riser, and Karl 2010; Körtzinger et al. 2004) and years of international coordination, the BGC-Argo program was officially launched in October 2016, as an extension of the Argo Program (Biogeochemical-Argo Planning Group 2016; Johnson and Claustre 2016). The objectives of the BGC-Argo Program are to establish and sustain an array with 1000 floats within five years. Similar to Argo, this is a coordinated, voluntary, distributed, and multinational network of profiling floats, but with a significant addition of …
Declining Dissolved Oxygen In The Central California Current Region, Alice Ren
Declining Dissolved Oxygen In The Central California Current Region, Alice Ren
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A potential consequence of climate change is a global decrease in dissolved oxygen at depth due to changes in the balance of ventilation, mixing, respiration, and photosynthesis in the oceans. Regionally, the California Current has experienced dissolved oxygen declines since the late 1980s with observations from Oregon and the Southern California Bight. Here, we present observations of declining dissolved oxygen along CalCOFI Line 67 off of Monterey Bay, in the Central California Current region, and investigate likely mechanisms. The hydrographic cruises obtained dissolved oxygen measurements 50-300 km from shore between 1998 and 2013, with quasi-seasonal sampling resolution. Dissolved oxygen decreased …
