Intact core tetraether membrane lipids of marine planktonic Crenarchaeota were quantified in water column-suspended
particulate matter obtained from four depth intervals (~70, 500, 1,000 and 1,500 m) at seven
stations in the northwestern Arabian...

We evaluated whether bacteria with higher cell-specific nucleic acid content (HNA) or an active electron
transport system, i.e., positive for reduction of 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC), were
responsible for the bulk of...

Variation in bacterial abundance and activity was assessed by sampling the upper 35 to
80 m of the water column during 2 to 5 d periods at 3 sites: eutrophic-mesotrophic midshelf,
mesotrophic-oligotrophic slope, and oligotrophic gyre edge, off the...

The existence of a distinct coastal zone is confirmed in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) by horizontal transects measuring chlorophyll and temperature simultaneously. Creation of the coastal region is influenced by bottom topography, the nature of...

A Lagrangian drifter was deployed in a cold filament off northern California as part of the Coastal Transition Zone program. The drifter was equipped with an optical package (consisting of a spectroradiometer, a fluorometer, and a beam...

Satellite ocean color data from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) were used to examine distributions of chlorophyll concentration within the Southern Ocean for the period of October 1997 through September 1998. Over most of the...

A drifter equipped with bio-optical sensors and an automated water sampler was deployed in the California Current as part of the coastal transition zone program to study the biological, chemical, and physical dynamics of the meandering filaments....

We have selected square subareas (110 km on a side) from coastal zone
color scanner (CZCS) and advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) images
for 1981 in the California Current region off northern California for which we could
identify...

During austral summer 1997, satellite imagery revealed enhanced chlorophyll associated with the Antarctic Polar Front at 170°W. Phytoplankton growth conditions during the early stages of the spring increase were investigated on the Antarctic...

The location of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) was mapped over a 7-year period (1987-1993) within images of satellite-deprived sea surface temperature. The mean path of the PF is strongly steered by the topographic features of the Southern Ocean....

The lipid composition of an ammonium oxidizing bacterium isolated from Alaskan waters was examined at 2 different growth temperatures (5 and 25 °C). The composition was surprisingly simple with palmitic acid (C ₁₆:₀) and a monounsaturated isomer,...

Recent data on seasonal variation in the concentration of atmospheric oxygen are independent evidence for a marked annual cycle in the production/respiration (P/R) ratio of the biotic community of the ocean in both the northern and southern...

The potential role of the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. In nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics of the euphotic zone of the North Pacific subtropical gyre was investigated as one component of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT)...

The majority of bacteria suspended in seawater do not appear to be metabolically active or in good physiological condition as assessed by various methods. We tested the idea that a large fraction of ‘inactive’ bacterial cells can become ‘active’...

The redox dye 5-cyano-2, 3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) is used in aquatic sciences as a vital stain for enumeration of respiring bacteria in situ. Questions concerning its efficacy have been raised. We propose that the abundance of...

THE ROLE OF THE OCEANS in Earth systems ecology, and the effects of climate variability on the ocean and its ecosystems, can be understood only by observing, describing, and ultimately predicting the state of the ocean as a physically forced...

The appearance of personal computers in the mid-1980s transformed the conduct of oceanographic research in ways that are now familiar as well as in ways that are now only beginning to be perceived and understood. The first Macintosh computers and...

Protists are microscopic eukaryotic
microbes that are ubiquitous, diverse,
and major participants in oceanic food
webs and in marine biogeochemical
cycles. The study and characterization
of protists has a long and distinguished
tradition. Even...

Three cross-shelf transects were conducted off northern Oregon in February, 2003, coincident with flooding of
Coast Range rivers, to assess the riverine impact on coastal ocean biogeochemistry. During downwelling
conditions, low salinity...

We conducted laboratory experiments to assess the bioelemental plasticity of cultures of Trichodesmium
IMS101 under phosphorus (P)-replete, P-restricted, and light-limited conditions. The results reveal a high degree
of stoichiometric flexibility....

Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 4-km data were collected over the northeast Atlantic for May–August 1995–1999. Aerosol optical depth at 0.55 μm was retrieved in pixels identified as being cloud-free ocean. In pixels identified as...

Recent satellite observations indicate a significant decrease of cloud water in ship tracks, in contrast to an ensemble of in situ ship-track measurements showing no average change in cloud water relative to the surrounding clouds, and contrary to...
