DYNAMICS OF THE NOVA SCOTIA CURRENT AND LINKAGES WITH ATLANTIC SALMON MIGRATION PATTERNS OVER THE SCOTIAN SHELF
Over the 2008-2015 period, the Ocean Tracking Network provided unprecedented spatiotemporal coverage of the hydrography and currents along the Halifax Line (HL) on the Scotian Shelf, using several different monitoring ... -
Ekman’s theory applied to water replacements on the Scotian shelf
(Imperial Publishing Co, Ltd., 1938) -
Eulerian and Lagrangian Studies of Circulation on the Scotian Shelf and Adjacent Deep Waters of the North Atlantic with Biological Implications
A thorough understanding of circulation and hydrography over the eastern Canadian Shelf remains a major challenge within the field of physical oceanography. Reliable predictions of physical oceanic conditions are of great ... -
EUPHAUSIID ECOLOGY AND WATER MASS ASSOCIATIONS IN ROSEWAY BASIN MEASURED FROM AN OCEAN GLIDER
The goal of this thesis is to quantify spatial and temporal variation in the concentration and distribution of zooplankton, with an emphasis on euphausiid krill, in Roseway Basin, on the Scotian Shelf. We used an autonomous ... -
IN SITU MEASUREMENTS BY INSTRUMENTED GREY SEALS (HALICHOERUS GRYPUS) REVEAL FINE-SCALE OCEANOGRAPHIC PROPERTIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON MOVEMENT PATTERNS
The influence of oceanographic conditions on the movements of large marine predators has been demonstrated in diverse taxa. However, obtaining subsurface data that are spatio-temporally relevant to the decisions made by ... -
Modelling the Movement of Marine Particles in Discrete Time and Space with Application to Scotian Shelf Connectivity
The complexity of ocean circulation makes it difficult to predict both the origin and destination of objects transported by ocean currents. Many practical applications (e.g., planning marine search and rescue operations, ... -
Spatial distribution, spawning stock biomass and the development of spatial reference points
(2013-11-12)The relationship between spawning stock biomass (SSB) and 3 spatial distribution metrics (SDMs), measuring range, concentration, and density, using fisheries independent survey data for 10 demersal Northwest Atlantic fish ... -
Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf
(1994)Seasonal temperature variations on the Scotian Shelf penetrate to a depth of about 75 m. The net surface heat flux (Q) can explain about 85% of the annual cycle in the rate of change of mean temperature over this depth ...
