Krill hotspots in the California Current
A method combining in situ nitrate concentrations and satellite winds provides estimates of nitrate supply in coastal upwelling regions (available for download).
BOG-topic
Glider and mooring data plots
Moorings float above the seafloor and can constantly take a variety of measurements, giving researchers a clear picture of oceanographic conditions.
Monterey Bay Time Series Data
Summary graphs from the Monterey Bay Time Series (MBTS) CTD cruises. Includes physical, chemical, and biological samples. Updated quarterly.
Nitrate supply estimates in upwelling systems
A method combining in situ nitrate concentrations and satellite winds provides estimates of nitrate supply in coastal upwelling regions (available for download).
Global modes of sea surface temperature
A century-long EOF analysis of global sea surface temperature (SST) identified modes associated with regional climate phenomena. Plots and time series are updated monthly.
M1 Mooring Summary Data
Climatology graphs of sea temperature (0m, 60m 100m), ISUS nitrate, HS Chlorophyll, and upwelling indices from 1990 to the present. Updated daily.
Mooring data
A brief survey of current data from the M1 mooring in graphical representation. Updated daily.
Biological oceanography technology
Our lab uses moorings, gliders, AUVs, and CTD measurements to study fundamental oceanographic phenomena.

About MBARI
Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
