On feeding migrations of saury in the North-West Pacific Ocean

Izvestiya TINRO, 2017
General patterns of the pacific saury feeding migrations in the North-West Pacific are determined on results of fishing operations conducted by a group of Russian fishery vessels in June-November, 2014. The main route of migration in June-July was directed westward and northwestward, to the open ocean.

Pre-Pliocene Extension around the Gulf of California and the transfer of Baja California to the Pacific Plate [PDF]

, 1989
Late Miocene (12–5 Ma) extension around the edges of the Gulf of California has been alternatively attributed to “Basin and Range” extension, back arc extension, or development of the Pacific-North America plate boundary.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Trans-Pacific transport and evolution of aerosols: spatiotemporal characteristics and source contributions [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
Aerosols in the middle and upper troposphere have a long enough lifetime for trans-Pacific transport from East Asia to North America to influence air quality on the west coast of the United States (US).

Recent climate changes of thermohaline structure in the North-West Pacific

Izvestiya TINRO, 2016
Variability of temperature and salinity in the 0-1000-m layer of the North-West Pacific is analyzed on the data of shipboard oceanographic observations obtained in 1950-2014. Significant decadal changes of these parameters are revealed at the depth of 300-600 m that exceeds the depth of seasonal fluctuations, with the highest rate in the Subarctic ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

A model for simulating the active dispersal of juvenile sea turtles with a case study on western Pacific leatherback turtles.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Oceanic currents are known to broadly shape the dispersal of juvenile sea turtles during their pelagic stage. Accordingly, simple passive drift models are widely used to investigate the distribution at sea of various juvenile sea turtle populations ...

A regional scale modeling analysis of aerosol and trace gas distributions over the eastern Pacific during the INTEX-B field campaign [PDF]

, 2010
The Sulfur Transport and dEposition Model (STEM) is applied to the analysis of observations obtained during the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-Phase B (INTEX-B), conducted over the eastern Pacific Ocean during spring 2006. Predicted trace

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

ENSO and West Pacific Seasonality Driven by the South Asian Monsoon

Geophysical Research Letters
The equatorial Pacific exhibits a clear seasonal cycle, with West Pacific SSTs being highest during boreal autumn and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events tending to peak during boreal winter.
