Climate and competition in abundance trends in native and invasive Tasmanian gulls Abstract Climate and competition influence seabird population size yet are rarely considered simultaneously. Here, we consider the influence of climate on nominal abundance trends, and test for evidence of interspecific competition based on 31 yr of count data from 3 co-occurring gull species in southeastern Tasmania. The silver gull Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae and Pacific gull Larus...

The Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and climate Abstract The Southwest Pacific Ocean Circulation and Climate Experiment (SPICE) is an international research program under the auspices of CLIVAR. The key objectives are to understand the Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) dynamics, as well as their influence on regional and basin-scale climate patterns. South Pacific thermocline waters are transported in the westward flowing...

Self-energy stochastic subgrid modelling in simulations of quasi-geostrophic and boundary layer flows Abstract Stochastic models are developed for the subgrid turbulence interactions in simulations of three-dimensional boundary layers, and quasi-geostrophic atmospheres and oceans. In geophysical (and engineering) simulations it is not possible to resolve all scales of motion, so one must resort to large eddy simulation (LES), where the large eddies are resolved on a...
