| This ecoregion is classified as having a high-boreal ecoclimate and a lowarctic oceanographic regime. |
| Coastal upwelling is the principle oceanographic phenomenon in the Caribbean associated with higher biological productivity. |
| Integrated geological and biological field survey, field sediment dynamics measurements, and physical oceanographic surveys. |
| Second, the direction of dispersal could have been biased by prevailing oceanographic configurations. |
| Specifically, more oceanographic research in Hudson Bay, particularly documenting pycnocline development, is needed. |
| The explorations will be part of the global long-term oceanographic and marine research program pursued by the Navy. |
