Sea surface temperature the passing of a hurricane primarily as the result of mixed layer deepening and surface heat losses. In the wake of several day long Saharan dust outbreaks across the adjacent northern Atlantic Ocean, sea surface temperatures are reduced 0.2 C to 0.4 C (0.3 to 0.7 F). Other sources of short-term SST fluctuation include extratropical cyclones, rapid influxes of glacial fresh water and concentrated phytoplankton blooms due to seasonal cycles or agricultural run-off. The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is important for how external forcings are linked with North Atlantic SSTs. El Niño is defined by prolonged differences in Pacific Ocean
Corvallis to the Sea Trail Corvallis to the Sea Trail Corvallis to the Sea Trail is a long hiking, bicycling, and equestrian trail in Western Oregon (United States) which links the Willamette Valley to the Pacific Ocean. It connects between Corvallis and Ona Beach. As of September 9, 2017, it is approximately 50% complete with the eastern half open and crosses a patchwork of public and private land. The remainder of the trail traverses Siuslaw National Forest with requiring trail to be built. That won't occur until an environmental assessment is complete which will take a couple of years. The project to establish the trail
