Upwelling bays: How coastal upwelling controls circulation, habitat, and productivity in bays

JL Largier - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

Patterns and processes in the California Current System

grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are …

Seasonality of coastal upwelling off central and northern California: New insights, including temporal and spatial variability

M García‐Reyes, JL Largier - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The coastal ocean environment off California is largely determined by wind‐driven coastal
upwelling, with an ecosystem that is tightly coupled to seasonality in this upwelling. Three …

Dynamics of coastal meta‐ecosystems: the intermittent upwelling hypothesis and a test in rocky intertidal regions

BA Menge, DNL Menge - Ecological Monographs, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The intermittent upwelling hypothesis (IUH) predicts that the strength of ecological subsidies,
organismal growth responses, and species interactions will vary unimodally along a …

Ocean acidification in the California current system

C Hauri, N Gruber, GK Plattner, S Alin, RA Feely… - Oceanography, 2009 - JSTOR
Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) are naturally more acidic than most of the rest
