TI: Extreme and Episodic Events: Their Roles in Physical-Biological Interactions

AB: Biological and physical interactions occur on all time and space scales. However, the roles of extreme and episodic events have remained largely unknown because of observational constraints. Within the past few years,advanced bio-optical, biological, and physical instruments have enabled the collection of data at unprecedented rates under even the most severe oceanic conditions. Recent results, which suggest the important roles of phenomena such as hurricanes, typhoons, mesoscale eddies, and Rossby waves in affecting the optics, biology, ecology, biogeochemistry, and marine geology of the ocean, are reviewed.
