Sea Surface Temperature Influence on Terrestrial Gross Primary Production along the Southern California Current
Fig 1
A conceptual summary of precipitation, SST, and fPAR (GPP) along the Baja California Peninsula.
The location of the transects are denoted by their abbreviations. SST is colder in the north (denoted by the blue color) and warmer in the south. The California Current roughly parallels the coast line, flowing north to south. The upwelling zones mentioned in this work are denoted by blue ovals. fPAR is higher in the extreme north and south (green color) and lower in the middle of the peninsula (brown color). Finally, precipitation is also higher in the northern and southern extremes and lower in the center of the peninsula (denoted by the fading blue colored arrow).
