The California Current System (CCS) is a dynamic and highly productive region dominated by a large southward surface flow that extends from near the U.S.–Canadian border, south to the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, and offshore to several hundred kilometers. The physics of the system are controlled primarily by atmospheric forcing, which causes direct response of the ocean. In turn, the resulting physical features of the ocean drive ecosystem responses. Hence the CCS is thought of as a “bottom up”–driven ecosystem. Although highly variable, the major feature of the atmospheric forcing is a somewhat reliable spring and
