Mar 31, 2021 · The Northeast Pacific (NEP) is one of the most productive ecosystems in the World Ocean, home to the California Current System (CCS) and a large coastal upwelling zone along the west coast of North America.

The Pacific Ocean can also be informally divided by the International Date Line into the East Pacific and the West Pacific, which allows it to be further divided into four quadrants, namely the Northeast Pacific off the coasts of North America, the Southeast Pacific off South America, the Northwest Pacific off Far Eastern/Pacific Asia, and the ...

We bring our organization's mission to life in four core roles: Cultivate connections and exchanges across communities, knowledge systems and boundaries. Identify ocean knowledge gaps and opportunities to catalyze actions centered on community needs.

Apr 2, 2024 · Here we show that planetary wave trains, triggered by increased rainfall and latent heat release over the Mediterranean Sea accompanied by decreased rainfall over the North Atlantic, can...

The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS) is the Regional Association of the national Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) in the Pacific Northwest, primarily Washington and Oregon. NANOOS also has strong ties with observing programs in Alaska and British Columbia.

The Central American coastline of the North-East Pacific hosts a variety of tropical and subtropical habitats including mangrove swamps, productive fishing grounds, and species-rich forests that extend to the water's edge.

Oct 11, 2023 · Marine heatwave events in the Northeast Pacific Ocean from 2013-2015 and 2019-2020 have had significant impacts on ocean life and livelihoods in the region. Numerous studies have linked these...

Feb 7, 2023 · Here, an investigation of satellite-derived and reanalysis data supported by idealized coupled model experiments show that Arctic warming plays an important role in the increase in Northeast...

Oct 18, 2021 · The Northeast Pacific Mode is a cyclical variation of sea surface temperature anomalies over the Northeast Pacific Ocean that is distinct from the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. The phases of the NPM coincide with identifiable weather patterns over large parts of the globe across all seasons.

The vision provided novel alternatives to science investigations based on limited and uncertain life spans of battery-powered instruments and on the vagaries of northeast Pacific storms that restrict ship-based expeditions to field seasons of only a few months each year.
