  1. Spatial Indices of Upwelling 1) Coastal Topography

  2. Premise • Average spatial patterns of coastal ocean processes are strongly influenced by topography and bathymetry

  3. How to quantify coastal topography?

  4. ‘Coastal Anomaly’ Broitman and Kinlan 2006 MEPS, In press

  5. Bays Headlands

  6. COASTAL STRUCTURE -1.0 (Embayments) Along-coast Distance (km) Normalized residual from smoothed coast 0 (Headlands) +1.0 Scale of Smoothing (km)

  7. COASTAL STRUCTURE Smoothing Scale=1000 km

  8. COASTAL STRUCTURE Smoothing Scale=50 km

  9. Coastal Topographic Index Chile WNA S. Africa

  10. Cons Pros • Easily calculated • Data readily available • Arbitrarily high resolution • Can index processes at multiple scales • Indirect index; index of upwelling or any other process depends on nature of coupling • Not dynamic (no time component) • Oversimplified?

  11. SST

  12. Spatial Indices of Upwelling 2) SST-derived indices

  13. Coastal SST latitude time longitude

  14. Latitudinal mean at each pixel

  15. Topographic Index and dSST Spatial Series

  16. Correlation between Topo and dSST indices C) Topo vs. Δ SST

  17. Correlation with Bakun Regional Index

  18. Ecosystem Structure

  19. Spatial patterns of kelp and phytoplankton Areal cover Biomass

  20. Spatial Cross-Correlations chl-a vs. kelp

  21. Spatial Cross-Correlations A) Topo vs. kelp B) Topo vs. chl-a C) Topo vs. Δ SST

  25. Onshore Community Patterns

  26. WNA 73 sites along 6000 km of coast South Africa 58 sites along 2000 km of coast Chile 26 sites 1000 km of coast

  27. What scale of coastal features matter to the process you’re interested in? Correlation between variable of interest and topographic index at each smoothing scale

  28. 0.6 0.4 0.2 Cross-Correlation 0 -0.2 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25 Along-coast Lag Distance (km) Scale of pattern is just part of the question Peak @ 15 km in the poleward direction
