Tropical–North Pacific Climate Linkages over the Past Four Centuries [PDF]
Analyses of instrumental data demonstrate robust linkages between decadal-scale North Pacific and tropical Indo-Pacific climatic variability. These linkages encompass common regime shifts, including the noteworthy 1976 transition in Pacific climate ...

Local environmental conditions related to seasonal tropical cyclone activity in the Northeast Pacific basin [PDF]
Tropical cyclone formation in the NE Pacific Ocean is poorly understood. We show that by dividing the NE Pacific Ocean into two regions, east and west of 116 degreesW, our understanding is enhanced in terms of which climatological factors are involved ...

Groups without cultured representatives dominate eukaryotic picophytoplankton in the oligotrophic South East Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Background: Photosynthetic picoeukaryotes (PPE) with a cell size less than 3 µm play a critical role in oceanic primary production. In recent years, the composition of marine picoeukaryote communities has been intensively investigated by molecular ...

Overview of tuna fisheries, stock status and management framework in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Introduction The tuna fisheries in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO), encompassed by the Convention Area of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCP-CA) (fig. 1), are diverse.

Genetic diversity and population structure of the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) in the Pacific Ocean: evidence for two evolutionarily significant units. [PDF]
There has been an increasing concern about shark overexploitation in the last decade, especially for open ocean shark species, where there is a paucity of data about their life histories and population dynamics.

Phylogeography of the crown-of-thorns starfish in the Indian Ocean [PDF]
Background: Understanding the limits and population dynamics of closely related sibling species in the marine realm is particularly relevant in organisms that require management.

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 199, "The Paleogene Equatorial Transect" (Sites 1215-1222), was designed to study the evolution of the equatorial Pacific current and wind system as Earth went from maximum Cenozoic warmth to initial Antarctic glaciations.

Export flux of particles at the equator in the western and central Pacific ocean
Export of particles was studied at the equator during an El Nino wann event (October 1994) as part of the French ORSTOM/FLUPAC program. Particulate mass, carbon (organic and inorganic) (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) export fluxes were measured at the equator in the western and central Pacific during two 6-7 day-long time-series stations located ...

Expedition 320/321 summary [PDF]
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 320/321, "Pacific Equatorial Age Transect" (Sites U1331–U1338), was designed to recover a continuous Cenozoic record of the equatorial Pacific by coring above the paleoposition of the Equator at successive ...

Close kin proximity in yellowfin tuna (thunnus albacares) as a driver of population genetic structure in the tropical western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Recent studies argue for the presence of genetic population structure in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in all oceans. However, the persistence of family groups has never been considered a viable mechanism of structure, nor has it been measured.
