Cold halocline in the northern California Current: An invasion of subarctic water
[1] Subsurface upper ocean waters off Oregon and Vancouver Island were about 1C cooler in July 2002 than in July 2001. The anomalously cool layer coincides with the permanent halocline which has salinities of 32.2 to 33.8, suggesting an invasion of nutrient-rich Subarctic waters. The anomalously coo...
