      Pisareva, Maria; Pickart, Robert S.; Iken, Katrin; Ershova, Elizaveta; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Cooper, Lee W.; Bluhm, Bodil; Nobre, Carolina; Hopcroft, Russell R.; Hu, Haoguo; Wang, Jia; Ashjian, Carin; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; Whitledge, Terry (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09)
      Using data from a number of summer surveys of the Chukchi Sea over the past decade, we investigate aspects in which the benthic fauna, sediment structure, and zooplankton there are related to circulation patterns and shelf hydrographic conditions. A flow speed map is constructed that reveals the major pathways on the shelf. Regions of enhanced flow speed are dictated by lateral constrictions—i ...
    • Surface chlorophyll anomalies induced by mesoscale eddy- wind interactions in the northern Norwegian Sea 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Raj, Roshin Pappukutty; Smith, Walker O; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Ji, Rubao; Ashjian, Carin; Zhang, Zhaoru; Hu, Ziyuan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      The substantial productivity of the northern Norwegian Sea is closely related to its strong mesoscale eddy activity, but how eddies affect phytoplankton biomass levels in the upper ocean through horizontal and vertical transportmixing has not been well quantified. To assess mesoscale eddy induced ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) anomalies and modulation of eddywind interactions in ...
