Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest in US history, unprecedented for
the depth and volume of oil released, the amount of dispersants applied, and the …

Ocean acidification (OA) has resulted in global-scale changes in ocean chemistry, which
can disturb marine organisms and ecosystems. Despite its extensively populated coastline …

Reliable forecasts for the dispersion of oceanic contamination are important for coastal
ecosystems, society, and the economy as evidenced by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in …

The seasonal circulation on the western shelf of the Gulf of Mexico is studied using a high‐
resolution numerical simulation, historical hydrographic data, sea level data, and satellite …

High‐resolution numerical simulations of the northern Gulf of Mexico region using the Hybrid
Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) were employed to investigate the dynamical processes …

Distributions of total alkalinity (TA), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and other parameters
relevant to the marine inorganic carbon system were investigated in shelf and adjacent …

A numerical simulation of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) using the Navy Coastal Ocean Model
(NCOM) is used to identify the pathways by which fresh water discharged by major rivers in …

Abstract The Loop Current and its shed eddies dominate the circulation and dynamics of the
Gulf of Mexico (GoM) basin. Those eddies are strongly energetic and are the cause of …

This study describes in detail the water masses of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) west of 88° W
based on their thermohaline properties and dissolved oxygen concentration. The existent …

The seasonal and interannual variability of offshore cross-shelf transports of chlorophyll-rich
waters in the Gulf of Mexico is studied using Level-3, monthly SeaWiFS data and monthly …
