Horizontal distribution of dominant pelagic fish eggs in West African waters
Early life stages of dominant West African pelagic fishes, most of which are commercially important, are rarely studied especially in Senegalese and Mauritanian coastal waters. The aim of the present study was to examine the horizontal distribution of pelagic fish eggs of European sardine (Sardina pilchardus), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), roun...
Calibration of CTD Oxygen data collected in the Coral sea during the 2012 Bifurcation cruise
An updated procedure for a CTD-oxygen calibration along with new data processing was applied to recent hydrographic cruise data in the Coral Sea during the Cruise "BIFURCATION" in September 2012. After a brief introduction with the scientific context (section 1), we describe the contents and acquisition models of hydrological and chemical data that...
Pacific western boundary currents and their roles in climate
...
Pacific Ocean western boundary currents and the interlinked equatorial Pacific circulation system were among the first currents of these types to be explored by pioneering oceanographers. The widely accepted but poorly quantified importance of these currents - in processes such as the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation an...
Tracking the origins of plastic debris across the Coral Sea : a case study from the Ouvéa Island, New Caledonia
Contamination of the marine environment by human-made plastic litter is a growing and global problem. Our study attempts to explain the presence of two plastic bottles beached on the Ouvéa Island, in the southwest Pacific Ocean, with trademarks from the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea (PNG). We simulate the oceanic drift tracks and associated ...

Water mass analysis of the Coral Sea through an optimum multiparameter method
A water mass analysis of the Coral Sea thermocline waters provides a description of their distribution, pathways and mixture based on recent oceanographic cruises in this region of strong western boundary currents. The Optimum Multiparameter method is used to determine the relative contribution of core water masses based on their measured temperatu...
