Atmospheric teleconnection influence on North American land surface phenology

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Short-term forecasts of vegetation activity are currently not well constrained due largely to our lack of understanding of coupled climate-vegetation dynamics mediated by complex interactions between atmospheric teleconnection patterns.

Isotopic Tracers Suggest Limited Trans-Oceanic Movements and Regional Residency in North Pacific Blue Sharks (Prionace glauca)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Blue sharks (Prionace glauca) are globally distributed, large-bodied pelagic sharks that make extensive migrations throughout their range. In the North Pacific, mark-recapture studies have shown trans-Pacific migrations, but knowledge gaps in migration ...

First occurrence of the non-native bryozoan Schizoporella japonica Ortmann (1890) in Western Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Schizoporella japonica Ortmann was described from Japan but was subsequently introduced on Pacific oysters to the Pacific coast of North America, where it is now well established. In this paper we record it for the first time in European waters.

Mitochondrial DNA reveals secondary contact in Japanese harbour seals, the southernmost population in the western Pacific. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
In this study, we used relatively large number of samples (n = 178) and control region of mtDNA (454bp) to clearify the divergence history of Japanese harbour seals (Phoca vitulina stejnegeri) and phylogenetic relationship between the seals in Japan and ...

Data Assimilation of Argos profiles in North-west Pacific Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Abstract. Based on a novel specification of the background error covariance applying to Argos profiles assimilation, an oceanographic three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation scheme is set up in the Regional Oceanic Model system (ROMs).

Interannual sea-air CO2 flux variability from an observation-driven ocean mixed-layer scheme [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Interannual anomalies in the sea–air carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange have been estimated from surface-ocean CO2 partial pressure measurements. Available data are sufficient to constrain these anomalies in large parts of the tropical and North Pacific and ...

The probability of rapid climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
If you look at a map of the air temperature of the surface of the Earth, you will see that North West Europe, including the UK, is warmer than Alaska, which is at the same latitude but on the Pacific rather than Atlantic Ocean.

Role of ocean evaporation in California droughts and floods

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
Since winter 2011, a record‐breaking drought has occurred in California. Studies found that the drought is mainly caused by a persistent high‐pressure system off the U.S. West Coast, which is linked to Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies. The water

Influence of Wintertime Polar Vortex Variation on the Climate over the North Pacific during Late Winter and Spring

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
The effects of wintertime stratospheric polar vortex variation on the climate over the North Pacific Ocean during late winter and spring are analyzed using the National Centers for Environmental Predictions, version 2 (NCEP2) reanalysis dataset.

Consequences of ocean scale hypoxia constrained habitat for tropical pelagic fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Large areas of cold hypoxic water occur as distinct strata in the eastern tropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans as a result of high productivity initiated by intense nutrient upwelling.
