Water masses can become undersaturated with oxygen when natural processes alone or in
combination with anthropogenic processes produce enough organic carbon that is …

The tropical ocean off the west coast of South America is notable for several reasons. First, it
is unusually cool for an ocean that is so close to the equator with sea surface temperatures …

Abstract A 10-year time series (2002–2012) at Station 18 off central/southern Chile allowed
us to study variations in zooplankton along with interannual variability and trends in …

Major advances in analytical chemistry and instrumentation have prompted major advances
in our understanding of trace metal biogeochemistry. However, the deep-water …

Here we present results of direct observations of seawater temperature and salinity over the
continental shelf off central-south Chile that shows an unprecedented cooling of the entire …

Abstract The Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) is a climatic perturbation with a core period
of 1000-1200 AD that is well-recognized in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Its existence in …

We analyze sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) satellite data to study
the seasonal variability of the upwelling off central Chile. Data from an oceanographic cruise …

We have studied the seasonal variability of four turbid river plumes along the central Chilean
coast using daily, high-resolution images of surface turbidity from MODIS (Moderate …

Ocean color imagery from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)
onboard the Aqua platform is used to characterize the interannual variability of turbid river …

Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are regions where wind-driven coastal
upwelling brings deep cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface and may be characterized by a …
