U.S.-Globec: Nep Phase Iiib-Cgoa: A Synthesis Of Climate-Forced Variability On Mesoscale Structure In The Cgoa With Direct Comparisons To The Ccs, Andrew C. Thomas Mar 2010

U.S.-Globec: Nep Phase Iiib-Cgoa: A Synthesis Of Climate-Forced Variability On Mesoscale Structure In The Cgoa With Direct Comparisons To The Ccs, Andrew C. Thomas

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

A variety of extreme climate events occurred during the period of US GLOBEC monitoring and process studies in the NEP (1997-2004). These provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine a range of climate variability experienced by the coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA). By relating these climate events to regional physical and biological observations, using multiple and diverse data sources (GLOBEC observations, historical data sets and reanalyses, satellites, models), we can determine how these events affect mesoscale ocean variability in the CGOA and its related target populations (the primary goal of the NEP program). We can then directly compare these responses to …

Us-Globec Nep Phase Iiia-Ccs: Large-Scale Influences On Mesoscale Structure In The Ccs, A Synthesis Of Climate-Forced Variability In Coastal Ecosystems, Andrew C. Thomas

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

A variety of extreme climate events occurred during the period of the US GLOBEC NEP monitoring and process studies in the California Current System (CCS) (1997-2003). These provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine a wide range of climate variability experienced by the CCS and its ecosystems. By relating these climate events to regional physical and biological observations, using multiple and diverse data sources (GLOBEC and other recent observations, historical datasets, satellites, circulation and physical-biological models), the investigators will determine how these events affect mesoscale ocean variability and target populations in the CCS. The overarching goal of this project is to …
