Influence of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation on SST Fronts Along the West Coasts of North and South America

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.

Generation and propagation of anticyclonic rings in the Gulf of Papagayo

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2004
Lagrangian drifting buoys, local meteorological stations and AVHRR data were used to describe the generation and propagation of anticyclonic rings in the Gulf of Papagayo during the upwelling season in 1996. Some observations were consistent with two generation mechanisms previously proposed: forcing by inertially rotating Papagayo wind jets and ...

Roles of Surface Latent Heat Flux and Gravity Waves in Offshore MCS Development in the Coastal Eastern Tropical Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) coastal region, one of the rainiest places on Earth, is characterized by distinct diurnal offshore rainfall propagation primarily driven by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Previous studies have shown that MCS initiation in this region peaks in the early morning, with diurnally generated gravity waves ...

Biogeochemical Response to Mesoscale Eddies and Tehuano Wind Events in the Oxygen Minimum Zone off the Gulf of Tehuantepec

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In the oxygen minimum zone of the eastern tropical North Pacific off the Gulf of Tehuantepec, mesoscale eddies and offshore jets often develop in response to Tehuano wind events. These dynamic features play crucial roles in modulating the vertical distribution of nutrients, dissolved oxygen, biogeochemical cycling, and regional primary ...

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
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 ...
