Demersal assemblages of the continental shelf and slope edge between the Gulf of Tehuantepec (Mexico) and the Gulf of Papagayo (Costa Rica) [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 1991 The structure of demersal assemblages (fish, crustaceans and cephalopods) of the continental shelf and upper slope between the Gulf of Tehuantepec and the Gulf of Papagayo was studied from data obtained in the course of surveys carried out by the RV 'Dr.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Along the west coasts of North, Central, and South America, sea surface temperature (SST) fronts are important for circulation dynamics and promoting biological activity. Prevailing equatorward winds during summer results in offshore Ekman transport and upwelling along the coast, where fronts often form between cold, upwelled water and warmer ...

Relationships Between Air‐Sea CO2 Flux and New Production in the Equatorial Pacific
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The equatorial Pacific is the largest oceanic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This outgassing varies depending on the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and decadal climate variability. New production, the amount of phytoplankton net primary production driven by upwelled nitrate, plays a significant role in modulating air‐sea CO2 ...

Outsize Influence of Central American Orography on Global Climate
AGU Advances, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) exhibit substantial biases in their simulation of tropical climate. One particularly problematic bias exists in GCMs' simulation of the tropical rainband known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1074-1090, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 126, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Fifteen years of satellite observations of sea surface temperature (SST) are used to identify frontal activities in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The frontogenesis and variability of frontal activities are mainly determined by wind forces. Strong frontal activities are distributed mainly near the coast and decrease with increasing offshore ...

Climate change impacts on living marine resources in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 65-81, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Project shifts in the habitat suitability of 505 fish and invertebrate species in the Eastern Tropical Pacific that are likely to occur by the mid‐21st century under “high greenhouse gas emissions” (RCP 8.5) and “strong mitigation” (RCP 2.6) scenarios.
