Remote Sensing Observations Of Winter Phytoplankton Blooms Southwest Of The Luzon Strait In The South China Sea, Dan-Ling Tang, I-Hsun Ni, Dana R. Kester, Frank E. Muller-Karger Dec 1999

Remote Sensing Observations Of Winter Phytoplankton Blooms Southwest Of The Luzon Strait In The South China Sea, Dan-Ling Tang, I-Hsun Ni, Dana R. Kester, Frank E. Muller-Karger

Marine Science Faculty Publications

The Luzon Strait is a channel between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea. This area is traditionally classified as an oligotrophic zone with low primary productivity. Even so, high concentrations of pigment were detected 100 km southwest of the Strait through analysis of historical Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) data that the Nimbus-7 satellite collected during the winters of 1979 to 1986. These blooms were observed in December 1979, February 1983, February 1985, and January 1986, when sea surface temperatures measured with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAAs) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) were 23 to …

Tropical Pacific Near-Surface Currents Estimated From Altimeter, Wind, And Drifter Data, Gary S. E. Lagerloef, Gary T. Mitchum, Roger B. Lukas, Pearn P. Niiler Oct 1999

Tropical Pacific Near-Surface Currents Estimated From Altimeter, Wind, And Drifter Data, Gary S. E. Lagerloef, Gary T. Mitchum, Roger B. Lukas, Pearn P. Niiler

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Tropical surface currents are estimated from satellite-derived surface topography and wind stress using a physically based statistical model calibrated by 15 m drogue drifters. The model, assumes a surface layer dominated by steady geostrophic and Ekman dynamics. Geostrophy varies smoothly from a beta plane formulation at the equator to an f plane formulation in midlatitude, with the transition occurring at similar to 2 degrees-3 degrees latitude. The transition is treated with a Gaussian weight function having a meridional decay scale that is found to be approximately the Rossby radius (similar to 2.2 degrees latitude). The two-parameter Ekman model represents drifter …


West Florida Continental Shelf Response To Upwelling Favorable Wind Forcing 2. Dynamics, Zhenjiang Li, Robert H. Weisberg Oct 1999

West Florida Continental Shelf Response To Upwelling Favorable Wind Forcing 2. Dynamics, Zhenjiang Li, Robert H. Weisberg

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Dynamics analyses are presented for the west Florida continental shelf response to upwelling favorable, alongshore or offshore winds using a three-dimensional, time-dependent, primitive equation model. These analyses complement the kinematics analyses of Li and Weisberg [1999]. Results are provided on four topics: (1) the response evolutions to quasi steady states, (2) the across-shelf distributions of the vertically integrated alongshore and across-shelf momentum balances, (3) the three-dimensional structures of the terms composing the momentum balance closures, and (4) the model sensitivity to vertical friction parameterization. The response evolution starts with a local wind-driven acceleration, and it transitions over the inner shelf …

Tampa Bay Estuary Program Partner Action Plans 1995-1999, Tampa Bay Estuary Program Oct 1999

Tampa Bay Estuary Program Partner Action Plans 1995-1999, Tampa Bay Estuary Program

Reports

This initial Action Plan covers the 1995-1999 time frame; thus, substantial progress already has been made in implementing many of the actions contained in the CCMP and some progress has been documented for all of the actions. This combined Action Plan presents a summary of progress made in implementing each of the 41 individual actions contained in the CCMP. In keeping with the flexible management approach advocated in the Plan, partners were not required to comply with rigid reporting guidelines. Instead, they were encouraged to canvass the broad spectrum of bay management activities conducted by their organization and report all …

Validation Of Coral Temperature Calibrations, Thomas J. Crowley, Terrence M. Quinn, William T. Hyde Oct 1999

Validation Of Coral Temperature Calibrations, Thomas J. Crowley, Terrence M. Quinn, William T. Hyde

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Geochemical analyses of coral skeletons are increasingly used to estimate past sea surface temperatures (SSTs). In this paper we suggest that the standard method of calibrating geochemical time series against a (usually short) local time series requires modification. In order to draw large‐scale inferences about climate from coral proxy data it is also necessary to (1) calibrate against larger fields such as the local gridded data sets and (2) validate results against an independent data set (e.g., early 20th century). This approach has been applied in a pilot study to a coral record from New Caledonia. Despite a high δ18O …

Summary Of Historical Information Relevant To The Hydrobiological Monitoring Of The Lower Peace River And Upper Charlotte Harbor Estuarine System, Pbs&J, Inc. Sep 1999

Summary Of Historical Information Relevant To The Hydrobiological Monitoring Of The Lower Peace River And Upper Charlotte Harbor Estuarine System, Pbs&J, Inc.

Reports

This review is focused on the relationship between plankton communities in Upper Charlotte Harbor and changes in freshwater flows that might result from Peace River water withdrawals. There are lour mechanisms by which freshwater withdrawals from the Peace River could influence plankton communities within the Lower Peace River and Upper Charlotte Harbor estuarine system. The first mechanism would involve removing enough water to cause the geographical location of mean isohalines to shift. If the locations shifted enough that isohalines lie over areas with different physical or biological habitats than the areas currently occupied, a significant biological effect might result. The …
