Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Dynamical ocean forcing of the Madden-Julian Oscillation at lead times of up to five months [PDF]
, 2011 We show that a simple three-dimensional ocean model linearised about a resting basic state can accurately simulate the dynamical ocean response to wind forcing by the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

Trends in coastal upwelling intensity during the late 20th century [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 This study presents linear trends of coastal upwelling intensity in the later part of the 20th century (1960–2001) employing various indices of upwelling, derived from meridional wind stress and sea surface temperature.

A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Coastal upwelling fluxes of O2, N2O, and CO2 assessed from continuous atmospheric observations at Trinidad, California [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2004 Continuous atmospheric records of O2/N2, CO2 and N2O obtained at Trinidad, California document the effects of air-sea exchange during coastal upwelling and plankton bloom events.

About Pigmented Nanoflagellates and the Importance of Mixotrophy in a Coastal Upwelling System
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mixotrophy, understood as food ingestion and photosynthesis occurring in the same organism, is a nutrition mode relatively common in marine protists.

Predicting plankton net community production in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2009 We present, test and implement two contrasting models to predict euphotic zone net community production (NCP), which are based on 14C primary production (PO14CP) to NCP relationships over two latitudinal (ca.
