A large anomalously warm water patch (the “Blob”) appeared in the NE Pacific Ocean in the winter of 2013–2014 and persisted through 2016 causing strong positive upper ocean temperature anomalies at Ocean Station Papa (OSP, 50 ∘ N, 145 ∘ W). The effect of the temperature anomalies on annual net commu...
