On the climatological mean circulation over the eastern Bering Sea shelf

3-D water properties and geostrophic circulation on the eastern Bering Sea shelf

“…We repeated the calculation using the 2008-2010 bottom trawl survey measurements (not shown). The dynamic topography was similar in magnitude in all three years with geopotential heights varying between 0.110 and 0.160 dynamic meters consistent with past computations (Reed and Stabeno, 1996). However the circulation patterns differed.…”

A regional tidal/subtidal circulation model of the southeastern Bering Sea: development, sensitivity analyses and hindcasting

“…The clockwise flow around the Pribilof Islands is similar to that observed in Kowalik and Stabeno (1999), and are associated with tidal residuals in purely tidal simulations. The eastward cross-shelf flow originating near the Pribilof Islands (Reed and Stabeno, 1996;Reed, 1998) is not adequately captured by these model runs. km offshore of the shelf break.…”

Associations between North Pacific right whales and their zooplanktonic prey in the southeastern Bering Sea

“…The local topography is similarly devoid of strong gradients, gently sloping at 0.35 m km −1 with no shoals or basins; therefore, it is similarly unlikely that topo graphy has any significant influence on C. marshallae aggregations. Subtidal flow through the southeastern Bering Sea in the summer is very weak (Coachman 1986, Reed & Stabeno 1996, but tidal currents are not in-significant. It seems clear that the usual mechanisms invoked to explain the formation of concentrated patches of copepods, namely fronts (Tynan et al 2001) and sharp changes in topography (Gregr & Coyle 2009), are likely not responsible for copepod aggregation in the southeastern Bering Sea (Q5).…”
