Independent data from the Gulf of Mexico are used to develop and test the hypothesis that
the same sequence of physical and ecological events each year allows the toxic …

Nearly all annual blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (K. brevis) pose a serious
threat to coastal Southwest Florida. These blooms discolor water, kill fish and marine …

Previous hypotheses had suggested that upwelled intrusions of nutrient‐rich Gulf of Mexico
slope water onto the West Florida Shelf (WFS) led to formation of red tides of Karenia brevis …

The annual cycle of the surface salinity field in the eastern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) basin is
investigated with a numerical model and observational data. A tongue of low salinity water is …

Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellates, Karenia spp. occur nearly annually in the eastern Gulf of
Mexico with cell abundances typically> 105cellsL− 1. Thermal and ocean color satellite …

The recovery of several top predators in the Gulf of Mexico is likely to increase predation on
and competition with other target and nontarget species, possibly causing the abundance of …

Biogeochemical models that simulate realistic lower-trophic-level dynamics, including the
representation of main phytoplankton and zooplankton functional groups, are valuable tools …

The northeastern Gulf of Mexico contains some of the most diverse and productive marine
habitat in the United States. Much of this habitat, located on the shelf edge in depths of 50 to …

Mesoscale eddies and fronts in the ocean greatly impact lateral transport and in turn the
trajectories of sinking particles. Such influence was explored for April and October 2012 in …

A coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical modelling is developed to address main
mechanisms that drive the particulate organic carbon (POC) deposition in the Gulf of Lions …
