Climate change in coastal waters: Time series properties affecting trend estimation
Schlegel, Robert W.; Smit, Albertus J. (AMS, 2016)In South Africa, 129 in situ temperature time series of up to 43 years are used for investigations of the thermal characteristics of coastal seawater. They are collected with handheld thermometers or underwater temperature ... -
A novel approach to quantify metrics of upwelling intensity, frequency, and duration
Abrahams, Amieroh; Schlegel, Robert W.; Smit, Albertus J. (Public Library of Science, 2021)The importance of coastal upwelling systems is widely recognized. However, several aspects of the current and future behaviors of these systems remain uncertain. Fluctuations in temperature because of anthropogenic climate ... -
Predominant atmospheric and oceanic patterns during coastal marine heatwaves
Schlegel, Robert W.; Oliver, Eric C. J.; Perkins-Kirkpatrick, Sarah; Kruger, Andries (Frontiers Media, 2017)As the mean temperatures of the worlds oceans increase, it is predicted that marine heatwaves (MHWs) will occur more frequently and with increased severity. However, it has been shown that variables other than increases ...
