Abstract
Standing stocks of phytoplankton and other particulate matter in Southern California coastal waters show an onshore (high) to offshore (low) gradient. Much of the spatial and temporal variability in the standing stocks is related to changes in the vertical concentration gradient of nutrients and is reflected in sea surface temperature anomalies. At shallow inshore stations the nitrate distribution at the bottom of the euphotic zone is in accord with Riley's ‘model of nutrient conditions in coastal waters’.
