TEMPORALLY VARYING MESOSCALE EDDY CHARACTERISTICS IN THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT SYSTEM IDENTIFIED FROM RAFOS FLOATS

Temporally Varying Mesoscale Eddy Characteristics in the California Current System Identified from RAFOS Floats

The SOund Fixing And Ranging (RAFOS) floats were deployed by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) near California coast from 1992 to 2004 at depth between 150 and 600 m (http://www.oc.nps.edu/npsRAFOS/).Each drifter trajectory is adaptively decomposed using the empirical Puzzles New/Sealed mode decomposition (EMD) into low-frequency (non-diffusive,

Cryptic speciation in arid mountains: An integrative revision of the Pristurus rupestris species complex (Squamata, Sphaerodactylidae) from Arabia based on morphological, genetic and genomic data, with the description of four new species.

In the arid landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula, high levels of cryptic diversity among reptiles, and especially in geckos, have recently been revealed.Mountain ranges within the peninsula were shown to contain the highest richness of reptile endemicity, serving as refugia to species less adapted to the hyper-arid conditions of the lowlands.With up
