Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica
ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...

Patterns of cetacean sighting distribution in the Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone of Costa Rica based on data collected from 1979-2001 [PDF]
Nineteen species of cetaceans (families Balaenopteridae, Kogiidae, Physeteridae, Ziphiidae and Delphinidae) occur in the Costa Rican Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Abstract Subsurface oxygen maxima (SOM) are recurrent but poorly understood features within the eastern tropical North Pacific oxygen deficient zone (ODZ). Here, we analyze a subsurface oxygen maximum (SOM) observed during the SR2114 cruise using in situ biogeochemical and physical measurements, satellite remote sensing, and Lagrangian particle ...

Although the basic features of the Mid‐Summer Drought (MSD) were not adequately reproduced in the North American Multi‐Model Ensemble forecasts, these forecasts contained the main drivers associated with its interannual variability; after applying a relatively simple Model Output Statistics technique, these drivers resulted in skilful, regional‐scale ...

Sea surface temperature and the distribution and apparent abundance of skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, 1951-1968 [PDF]
ENGLISH: Isograms of sea surface temperature (OC) have been produced for 1949-1968 for the areas of the eastern Pacific Ocean in which the majority of the skipjack catch is taken. These are in the immediate coastal zone, California (35° N) to Chile (20 0

Simulation of the intraseasonal variability over the Eastern Pacific ITCZ in climate models [PDF]
During boreal summer, convective activity over the eastern Pacific (EPAC) inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) exhibits vigorous intraseasonal variability (ISV). Previous observational studies identified two dominant ISV modes over the EPAC, i.e., a 40-

Abstract Despite its high tropical cyclone (TC) density, the Eastern North Pacific (ENP) basin has received relatively little research attention on landfall variability. This study investigates the climatological seasonal cycle and interannual variability of TC landfalls in the ENP.
