A-3 The big force is caused by offshore winds. It brings the deep waters to the surface.
Brianne-Taylor-Tulsa-JPerine : . . . . Tue, Nov 6, 10:11AM PST (-0800 GMT)
#3 During February and March each year, offshore winds create a phenomena called upwelling. Upwelling is a vertical motion ( as compared to currents which are mostly horizontal ) and draws deep waters up to the surface, bringing nutrient rich food from the depths of the sea canyons nutrients that would have otherwise been too deep for whales, dolphins, seals and fish to access. The phytoplankton and algae increase in number during this seasonal upwelling as they are exposed to more light closer to the waters surface. As these cooler waters are brought up towards the surface, they combine with the gyration of the ocean currents to create a feeding ground that ocean mammals will travel.

JONATHAN WORK
1. The largest geographic feature that
directly impacts on the oceanography
of the region is Point Conception on
the mainland at the northernmost tip
of the Channel.
2. North of Point
Conception the ocean waters are part
of the Oregonian zone that sees a current of colder water moving down from the arctic
Alaskan waters, and brining animals from the far north Pacific down to the Channel
islands, such as the northern fur seal, and the Orca, or killer whales.
3. During February and March each year, offshore winds create a
phenomena called upwelling. Upwelling is a vertical motion ( as
compared to currents which are mostly horizontal ) and draws
deep waters up to the surface, bringing nutrient rich food from
the depths of the sea canyons - nutrients that would have
otherwise been too deep for whales, dolphins, seals and fish to
access.
4. Each year July to November, an ocean
current pattern occurs that effects the
ocean's surface currents in the Channel.
During these months, the cooler northern
pacific waters that dominate the overall
California coast, and are called the
California Current, slowly give way to a southern warmer current.
5. Etched into the continental shelf off
the mainland, and before reaching deep
sea waters, are a series of dramatic
changes in topography. The deep sea
channels - unusual for a shelf so close
to shore - are the reason the stretch of
water between the mainland of Santa
Barbara and Ventura and the northern
Channel Islands is called the Santa
Barbara Channel.
6. A sea mount is an underwater mountain that once, like the island mountain tops we can
see today, was pushed up above the seabed by volcanic and sometimes seismic activity.
These sea mounts are of great danger to mariners, who must follow their charts closely
s they navigate the Channel waters.
7. Every year over
27 species of whales and
dolphins visit or inhabit the
sanctuary including the rare
blue, humpback and sei whales. On the islands, seabird colonies
and pinniped rookeries flourish while overhead brown pelicans
and Western gulls search the water for food.
8. Join us this summer for the third field
season of the Sustainable Seas
Expeditions (SSE). SSE 2001, named
"Islands in the Stream," is a project of
ocean exploration, research, education,
and public outreach. Scientists and
educators will explore protected and
non-protected coral reef and hard bottom
communities -- the "islands" -- of Belize,
Mexico and the United States, as well as
the currents -- the "stream" -- that
connect the different habitats. The
expedition will be chronicled on a new
Web site called, NOAA Ocean Explorer.

Upwelling is a vertical motion (as compared to currents which are mostly horizontal) and draws deep waters up to the surface, bringing nutrient rich food from the depths of the sea canyons - nutrients that would have otherwise been too deep for whales, dolphins, seals and fish to access. The phytoplankton and algae (minute sea dwelling organisms) increase in number during this seasonal upwelling, as they are expose to more light closer to the water's surface. As these cooler waters are brought up towards the surface, they combine with the gyration of the ocean currents to create a feeding ground that ocean mammals will travel

#7 - How many types of whales and dolphins visit the Channel waters and what agency studies them?
The waters that swirl around the five islands within the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary combine warm and cool currents to create an exceptional breeding ground for many species of plants and
Animals. Forests of giant kelp are home to numerous populations of fish and invertebrates. Every year over
27 species of whales and dolphins visit or inhabit the sanctuary including the rare blue, humpback and sei whales. On the islands, seabird colonies and pinniped rookeries flourish while overhead brown pelicans and Western gulls search the water for food.

Dig #1 What is the largest geographic feature that influences life in the Channel? The largest geographic feature that directly impacts on the oceanography of the region is Point Conception on the mainland at the northernmost tip of the Channel.
Dig#2 What are the names of the two zones in the water that meet in the Channel and influence life in the Channel waters ? Where do they come from? North of Point
Conception the ocean waters are part of the Oregonian zone that sees a current of colder water moving down from the arct Alaskan waters, and brining animals from the far north Pacific down to the Channel islands, such as the northern fur seal, and the Orca, or killer whales.
Dig#3 There is another BIG force that effects sea life in the Channel waters and it happens in February and March each year- right when the whale visitors increase in number. What is this force caused by and what does it do to the water ? During February and March each year, offshore winds create a phenomena called upwelling. Upwelling is a vertical motion ( as compared to currents which are mostly horizontal ) and draws deep waters up to the surface, bringing nutrient rich food from the depths of the sea canyons - nutrients that would have otherwise been too deep for whales, dolphins, seals and fish to access. The phytoplankton and algae ( minute sea dwelling organisms ) increase in number during this seasonal upwelling as they are expose to more light closer to the water's surface. As
these cooler waters are brought up towards the surface, they combine with the gyration of the ocean currents to create a feeding ground that ocean mammals will travel thousands of miles to enjoy.
Dig#4 Now read carefully, what is the name of the SOUTHERN current that brings the warmer Mexican waters up into the Channel and what time of year does this happen ? Each year July to November, an ocean
current pattern occurs that effects the ocean's surface currents in the Channel. During these months, the cooler northern pacific waters that dominate the overall California coast, and are called the California Current, slowly give way to a southern warmer current. As the gyre and counter current coming up from Mexico gain strength, more and more warmer waters are drawn up from the South and into the Channels - both San Pedro and Santa Barbara Channels.

Likewise, between Los
Angeles and the southern Channel
Islands the deep sea channel is the reason the waters are called the San Pedro Channel.
Dig #6 - Name the three main features in geography UNDER the sea in the Channel waters. Which are higher and what is the lowest?
Other features in the underwater geography - oceanography - of the Channel are sea
mounts, sea basins, and sea canyons.
A sea mount is an underwater mountain that once, like the island mountain tops we can
see today, was pushed up above the seabed by volcanic and sometimes seismic activity.
These sea mounts are of great danger to mariners, who must follow their charts closely
s they navigate the Channel waters.
Sea basins are the shallower under water plains between the sea mounts, and that are
not the deep sea channels. Much like the Oxnard plains and the Los Angeles basin,
these underwater basins are fairly level surfaces. There are six sea basins in the inner
and outer Channel. Those between the islands and the mainland are usually not more
than 1500 feet in depth. These inner Channel basins are called the Santa Barbara Basin
( 1500 feet depth ) to the north, and the Santa Monica and San Pedro Basins heading
south ( 2250 in depth ).
The outer Channel basins lie to the west of the Islands and are on the last stretch of
the continental shelf before truly deep sea waters begin. The Catalina Basin is deeper
yet at 3750 feet, while the San Nicolas and Santa Cruz Basins drop over 5,280 feet (
a mile in depth ).
Sea canyons are much like their mainland counterparts - narrow V channels cut into the
sea bed. Scientists believe that some of these canyons were cut by water run off when
areas of the sea floor were exposed to air, wind, and rain during the ice ages. But even
when submerged as the sea levels rose, the currents themselves erode away at the
canyons each year.
We are learning more and more about the underwater Channel topography by using sonar
to bounce back the forms of the sea floor to advanced computers, and thanks to
technological innovations that are enabling scientists to work in mobile submerged units
that dive down to the sea floor and examine first hand the amazing variations in
features of the sea floor beneath the California Channel.
Dig#7 - How many types of whales and dolphins visit the Channel waters and what agency studies
them ?
Every year over
27 species of whales and
dolphins visit or inhabit the
sanctuary including the rare
blue, humpback and sea whales. On the islands, seabird colonies
and pinniped rookeries flourish while overhead brown pelicans
and Western gulls search the water for food.
