ABSTRACT: The presence of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the greatest threats to marine biodiversity, presenting potential impacts not only on biodiversity, but also on the economy and public health. When a species is not evidently native or introduced, it is referred to as cryptogenic, an occurrence with consequences for understanding biological invasions. The subregion Azores, with 30% of the EU exclu...
This study uses nine years of daily 9-km Pathfinder AVHRR/NOAA Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images to estimate the SST temporal variability of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean on time-scales ranging from sub-seasonal to inter-annual. First, we evaluated the annual and semi-annual deterministic signals in the total variability of the SST fields using a least-squares fit. We then removed the annual and semi-annua...
