Despite its wide applications as a tool for feature extraction, the Self‐Organizing Map (SOM)
remains a black box to most meteorologists and oceanographers. This paper evaluates the …

Patterns of ocean current variability are examined on the West Florida Shelf by a neural
network analysis based on the self‐organizing map (SOM), using time series of moored …

Within New Zealand, growth in the aquaculture industry has led to the diversification of
aquaculture sites from more sheltered bays and harbours toward open coast locations …

My purpose in this book is to bring together in one place a summary of the voluminous
information relevant to fisheries oceanography that has been published during the more …

Assessing mortality of long-lived organisms is fundamental for understanding population
trends and for implementing conservation strategies, but doing so for marine megafauna is …

In order to determine the potential effects of contaminants in juveniles of East Pacific green

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 …

Anomalies occurring in the California Current System during 2013–2016 were examined
using remote sensing data and in-situ measurements. Positive anomalies in sea surface …

Strandings of marine megafauna can provide valuable information on cause of death at sea.
However, as stranding probabilities are usually very low and highly variable in space and …

Physical forcing and biological response within the California Current System (CCS) are
highly variable over a wide range of scales. Satellite remote sensing offers the only feasible …
