Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the vertical distributional variability of pelagic fauna in Monterey Bay
TL;DR: In this paper, a stationary, upward-facing scientific echosounder was used to record the vertical distribution of pelagic fauna in Monterey Bay, CA, for 18 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sentinel responses to droughts, wildfires, and floods: Effects of UV radiation on lakes and their ecosystem services

TL;DR: In the continental US, these events range from increases in the frequency and duration of droughts and wildfires in the West, to increasing precipitation and floods that are turning lakes and reservoirs brown in the East.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical redistribution of zooplankton in an oligotrophic lake associated with reduction in ultraviolet radiation by wildfire smoke
Samuel S. Urmy,Craig E. Williamson,Taylor H. Leach,S. Geoffrey Schladow,S. Geoffrey Schladow,Erin P. Overholt,Joseph D. Warren +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a natural experiment to test whether wildfire smoke induced changes in the vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Tahoe by decreasing incident ultraviolet radiation (UV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative ornithology with a commercial marine radar: standard-target calibration, target detection and tracking, and measurement of echoes from individuals and flocks
Samuel S. Urmy,Joseph D. Warren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial off-the-shelf marine radar was calibrated using a standard spherical target of known radar cross-sections (RCS) of the birds under study, and the radar was used to measure the RCS of common and roseate terns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-scale responses of scattering layers to environmental variability in Monterey Bay, California
Samuel S. Urmy,John K. Horne +1 more
TL;DR: A 38 kHz upward-facing echosounder was deployed on the seafloor at a depth of 875m in Monterey Bay, CA, USA (36° 42.748′N, 122° 11.214′W) from 27 February 2009 to 18 August 2010.
