Satellite observations of the Texas Current

Innovative environmental sampling during the summer of 2010 in the western Gulf of Mexico

“…The combinations of these unusual factors allowed for Mexican salty surface water to travel onto the Texas shelf as the coastal currents reversed and potentially weakened the stratification potential along the shelf, which is evident in the histogram (Fig. 9) [13]. Due to flooding events from central Texas storms, the freshwater inflow reached the coast about three weeks after allowing episodic and severe stratification resulting in hypoxic areas of up to 6 meters off the bottom.…”

Observations on the circulation of the Saronikos Gulf: A Mediterranean embayment sea border of Athens, Greece

“…Kosro [2005], using time series of surface flow maps and reporting the response of surface flow structures to the wind in the Oregon coastal area, has documented that the response to the wind varies spatially. Additionally, Vastano et al [1994] have discussed spatially varying response for the shelf area in the Gulf of Mexico.…”

Multispectral remote-sensing algorithms for particulate organic carbon (POC): The Gulf of Mexico

“…The Gulf of Mexico, a semi-enclosed ocean, is biologically productive in the shelf environments and has a physically complex circulation system (Ohlmann & Niiler, 2005;Vastano et al, 1995;Walker, 1996). Several rivers along the surrounding land discharge a large mass of fresh water to the shelf along with high concentrations of dissolved and particulate organic and inorganic matter and pollutants (Morey et al, 2003;Walker et al, 1994).…”
