As you note changes in the land environment, you may also wonder how ocean conditions change with the seasons. New information from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington use models and a variety of images to display the physical and chemical changes of Washington’s coastal waters throughout a typical year. These conditions show that there is a lot going on that we cannot see from the surface. The outputs from the UW lab and full report are available on the Marine Spatial Planning website under a page called “Ocean Conditions“.
