Bottom-water hypoxia in the Paracas Bay (Peru, 13.8°S) associated with seasonal and synoptic time scale variability of winds and water stratification

Abstract.

"Coastal hypoxia can occur naturally in inshore areas of the Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems, influenced by the nutrient-rich and low-oxygen upwelling waters. This study aims to explore the influence of water stratification and winds on bottom-water hypoxia of the Paracas Bay, an area subjected to the most intense alongshore winds and active coastal upwelling in the Peruvian coast. Monitoring data of the Pisco-Paracas water properties [...]".

Physical and biogeochemical impacts of RCP8.5 scenario in the Peru upwelling system

Abstract.

"The northern Humboldt current system (NHCS or Peru upwelling system) sustains the world's largest small pelagic fishery. While a nearshore surface cooling has been observed off southern Peru in recent decades, there is still considerable debate on the impact of climate change on the regional ecosystem. This calls for more accurate regional climate projections of the 21st century, using adapted tools such as regional eddy-resolving coupled biophysical models. [...]"

The influence of dissolved organic matter on the marine production of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) in the Peruvian upwelling

Abstract.

"Oceanic emissions of the climate-relevant trace gases carbonyl sulfide (OCS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) are a major source to their atmospheric budget. Their current and future emission estimates are still uncertain due to incomplete process understanding and therefore inexact quantification across different biogeochemical regimes.  [...]"
