DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3608-y
Abstract: The California Current System (CCS) is a biologically productive Eastern Boundary Upwelling System that experiences considerable environmental variability on seasonal and interannual timescales. Given that this variability drives changes in ecologically and economically important living… read more here.

Physical and Biogeochemical Drivers of Alongshore pH and Oxygen Variability in the California Current System
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089553
Abstract: In the California Current System (CCS), the nearshore environment experiences natural exposure to low pH and reduced oxygen in response to coastal upwelling. Anthropogenic impacts further decrease pH and oxygen below biological thresholds, making the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12783-5
Abstract: The California Current System is characterized by upwelling and rich mesoscale eddy activity. Cyclonic eddies generally pinch off from meanders in the California Current, potentially trapping upwelled water along the coast and transporting it offshore.… read more here.
