TLDR
In this paper, the authors used 100 environmental time series, 31 climatic and 69 biological, to determine if there is evidence for common regime signals in the 1965-1997 period of record.About:

Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems.
TL;DR: Recent studies show that a loss of resilience usually paves the way for a switch to an alternative state, which suggests that strategies for sustainable management of such ecosystems should focus on maintaining resilience.

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation
Nathan J. Mantua,Steven R. Hare +1 more
TL;DR: The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has been described by some as a long-lived El Nino-like pattern of Pacific climate variability, and by others as a blend of two sometimes independent modes having distinct spatial and temporal characteristics of North Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variability as discussed by the authors.

Catastrophic regime shifts in ecosystems: linking theory to observation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review emerging ways to link theory to observation, and conclude that although, field observations can provide hints of alternative stable states, experiments and models are essential for a good diagnosis.

From anchovies to sardines and back: multidecadal change in the Pacific Ocean.
TL;DR: In the Pacific Ocean, air and ocean temperatures, atmospheric carbon dioxide, landings of anchovies and sardines, and the productivity of coastal and open ocean ecosystems have varied over periods of about 50 years.

TL;DR: The North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) as mentioned in this paper is the most widely used index of large-scale climate variability in the Northeast Pacific region and has been shown to be correlated with previously unexplained fluctuations of salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll, and zooplankton taxa.

Decadal atmosphere-ocean variations in the Pacific
TL;DR: A decade-long change in the atmospheric circula- tion throughout the troposphere revealed a deeper and eastward shifted Aleutian low pressure system in the winter half year which advected warmer and moister air along the west coast of North America and into Alaska and colder air over the north Pacific.

Statistical Analysis in Climate Research
TL;DR: This chapter discusses statistical concepts in climate research, as well as time series and stochastic processes, and some of the techniques used to estimate covariance functions and spectra.

Climatic Warming and the Decline of Zooplankton in the California Current
Dean Roemmich,John A. McGowan +1 more
TL;DR: Since 1951, the biomass of macrozooplankton in waters off southern California has decreased by 80 percent and the surface layer warmed and the temperature difference across the thermocline increased, which led to further decline of zooplankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 50-70 year climatic oscillation over the North Pacific and North America
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the chronology of interdecadal climatic regime shifts using instrumental data over the North Pacific, North America and the tropical oceans, and reconstructed climate records for North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate-Ocean Variability and Ecosystem Response in the Northeast Pacific
TL;DR: It is shown that there have been large interannual and interdecadal sea-surface temperature changes off the West Coast of North America during the past 80 years.
