Hydrography of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review
Paul C. Fiedler,Lynne D. Talley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, spatial and temporal patterns are discussed using maps of surface temperature, salinity, and nutrients (phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite), and thermocline and mixed layer parameters.

Oceanographic influences on seabirds and cetaceans of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review
TL;DR: Though much has been made of the detrimental effects of El Nino events on apex predators, more research is needed to understand the magnitude, and even direction, of these effects on seabirds and cetaceans in space and time.

Albacore tuna catch distributions relative to environmental features observed from satellites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors display data from the summer of 1981 albacore tuna catch data from concurrent satellite images of sea surface temperature and phytoplankton pigment concentration, from the NOAA-7 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), respectively.

The annual cycle and biological effects of the Costa Rica Dome
Paul C. Fiedler
- 01 Feb 2002
TL;DR: The Costa Rica Dome is similar to other tropical thermocline domes in several respects: it is part of an east-west thermoclines ridge associated with the equatorial circulation, surface currents flow cyclonically around it, and its seasonal evolution is affected by large-scale wind patterns.

Donald A. Croll,Bernie R. Tershy,Roger P. Hewitt,David A. Demer,Paul C. Fiedler,Susan E. Smith,Wesley A. Armstrong,Jacqueline M. Popp,Thomas Kiekhefer,Vanesa R. Lopez,Jorge Urbán,Diane Gendron +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods that combine concurrent dive recorder deployment, oceanographic sampling, and hydroacoustic surveys to generate hypotheses about interactions between the physical environment and the distribution, abundance, and behavior of pelagic predators and their prey.
