  • Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
    - 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts.

  • Tube-Nosed Seabirds) Unique Characteristics
    PELAGIC SEABIRDS OF THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT SYSTEM & CORDELL BANK NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY Written by Carol A. Keiper August, 2008 Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary protects an area of 529 square miles in one of the most productive offshore regions in North America. The sanctuary is located approximately 43 nautical miles northwest of the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco California. The prominent feature of the Sanctuary is a submerged granite bank 4.5 miles wide and 9.5 miles long, which lay submerged 115 feet below the ocean’s surface. This unique undersea topography, in combination with the nutrient-rich ocean conditions created by the physical process of upwelling, produces a lush feeding ground. for countless invertebrates, fishes (over 180 species), marine mammals (over 25 species), and seabirds (over 60 species). The undersea oasis of the Cordell Bank and surrounding waters teems with life and provides food for hundreds of thousands of seabirds that travel from the Farallon Islands and the Point Reyes peninsula or have migrated thousands of miles from Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Cordell Bank is also known as the albatross capital of the Northern Hemisphere because numerous species visit these waters. The US National Marine Sanctuaries are administered and managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who work with the public and other partners to balance human use and enjoyment with long-term conservation. There are four major orders of seabirds: 1) Sphenisciformes – penguins 2) *Procellariformes – albatross, fulmars, shearwaters, petrels 3) Pelecaniformes – pelicans, boobies, cormorants, frigate birds 4) *Charadriiformes - Gulls, Terns, & Alcids *Orders presented in this seminar In general, seabirds have life histories characterized by low productivity, delayed maturity, and relatively high adult survival.

We also thank our editor, Lisa Renaud. About tHE mILKEn InstItutE The Milken Institute is an independent economic think tank whose mission is to improve the lives and economic conditions of diverse populations in the United States and around the world by helping business and public policy leaders identify and implement innovative ideas for creating broad-based prosperity. We put research to work with the goal of revitalizing regions and finding new ways to generate capital for people with original ideas. We focus on: human capital: the talent, knowledge, and experience of people, and their value to organizations, economies, and society; financial capital: innovations that allocate financial resources efficiently, especially to those who ordinarily would not have access to them, but who can best use them to build companies, create jobs, accelerate life-saving medical research, and solve long-standing social and economic problems; and social capital: the bonds of society that underlie economic advancement, including schools, health care, cultural institutions, and government services. By creating ways to spread the benefits of human, financial, and social capital to as many people as possible— by democratizing capital—we hope to contribute to prosperity and freedom in all corners of the globe.

  • Seasonal and Spatial Fluctuations of the Phytoplankton in Monterey Bay
    SEASONAL AND SPATIAL FLUCTUATIONS OF THE PHYTOPLANKTON IN MONTEREY BAY A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Faculty of California State University, Hayward In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Biological Science by Russ Waidelich January, 1976 ABSTRACT The seasonal and spatial fluctuations of phyto­ plankton in Monterey Bay were described for an 18-month period. Low winter levels were mainly due to instabi­ lity of the water column, while the spring bloom was brought a·bout by the commencement of upwelling and the subsequent stabilization of the water column, with resi­ dence time of water regulating chlorophyll concentra­ tions. The summer minimum shortly followed the cessa­ tion of upwelling, when it appeared that nitrates were limiting, although zooplankton was a major factor in re­ ducing the algal standing stock at this time. Adequate illumination and relaxation of grazing pressure rather than specificity of water type appeared to be the major factors regulating the occurrence of the fall bloom, indicating that the seasonal pattern of Monterey Bay conforms generally to that of the mid­ latitude marine ecosystems. An examination of the spatial distribution o.f phytoplankton revealed lower values over the canyon during upwelling months due to advection of water to the shelf areas, and lower values in the same area during non-upwelling months due to subsidence or downwelling and tur·bul enc e . ii ACENOWLEDGlVJENTS Many people were responsible for helping to make this thesis possible. I would first like to thank my major advisors, Dr. Mary Silver and Dr. John Martin, for their valuable advice and support.

Editors: Dr. Chris Harvey (NWFSC), Dr. Toby Garfield (SWFSC), Mr. Greg Williams (PSMFC), and Dr. Nick Tolimieri (NWFSC) 1 INTRODUCTION Section 1.4 of the 2013 Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) established a reporting process wherein NOAA provides the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) with a yearly update on the status of the California Current Ecosystem (CCE), as derived from environmental, biological, economic and social indicators. NOAA’s California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (CCIEA) team is responsible for this report. This is our 8th report, with prior reports in 2012 and 2014-2019. This report summarizes CCE status based on data and analyses that generally run through 2019. Highlights are summarized in Box 1.1. Appendices provide additional information or clarification, as requested by the Council, the Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC), or other advisory bodies. Box 1.1: Highlights of this report • In 2019, the system experienced weak to neutral El Niño conditions, average to slightly positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and very weak North Pacific circulation • A large marine heatwave emerged in mid 2019, similar in size and intensity to the 2013- 2016 “Blob,” but it weakened by December, and we do not yet know what effects it had • Several ecological indicators
