A scuticociliate causes mass mortality of Diadema antillarum in the Caribbean Sea. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2023
Echinoderm mass mortality events shape marine ecosystems by altering the dynamics among major benthic groups. The sea urchin Diadema antillarum, virtually extirpated in the Caribbean in the early 1980s by an unknown cause, recently experienced another ...

Ocean model resolution dependence of Caribbean sea-level projections. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Sea-level rise poses severe threats to coastal and low-lying regions around the world, by exacerbating coastal erosion and flooding. Adequate sea-level projections over the next decades are important for both decision making and for the development of ...

Freshwater exchanges and surface salinity in the Colombian basin, Caribbean Sea. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
Despite the heavy regional rainfall and considerable discharge of many rivers into the Colombian Basin, there have been few detailed studies about the dilution of Caribbean Surface Water and the variability of salinity in the southwestern Caribbean.

Sea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014
AbstractSea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea are analyzed on the basis of hourly records from 13 tide gauges. The largest sea level extreme observed is 83 cm at Port Spain. The largest nontidal residual in the records is 76 cm, forced by a category 5 hurricane. Storm surges in the Caribbean are primarily caused by tropical storms and stationary cold

A Rossby whistle: a resonant basin mode observed in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

, 2016
We show that an important source of coastal sea level variability around the Caribbean Sea is a resonant basin mode. The mode consists of a baroclinic Rossby wave which propagates westward across the basin and is rapidly returned to the east along the ...

STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHIC POSITIONING OF SEA LEVEL GAUGES TO AID IN EARLY DETECTION OF TSUNAMIS IN THE INTRA-AMERICAS SEA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
The potential impact of past Caribbean tsunamis generated by earthquakes and/or massive submarine slides/slumps, as well as the tsunamigenic potential and population distribution within the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) is examined to help define the optimal ...

Regional diversity of Amphipoda in the Caribbean Sea

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013
The order Amphipoda is one of the most diverse within Peracarids, and comprises 6 950 described marine species. Amphipod research in the Caribbean Sea began in the late 1 800s, but has increased significantly since 1 980.

Carriers of Sargassum and mechanism for coastal inundation in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

The Physics of Fluids, 2021
We identify effective carriers of \emph{Sargassum} in the Caribbean Sea and describe a mechanism for coastal choking. Revealed from satellite altimetry, the carriers of \emph{Sargassum} are mesoscale eddies (vortices of 50-km radius or larger) with ...

Green and hawksbill turtle detection and abundance at foraging grounds in Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Abundance estimates corrected for changes in detection are needed to assess population trends. We used transect-count surveys and N-mixture models to estimate green turtle Chelonia mydas and hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata detection and total ...
