Introduction to Oceanographic Processes

The oceanographic processes on Cleveland Bay significantly affect the distribution of the zooplankton community. The oceanographic processes are the processes that occur on oceans such as barotropic currents, overflows, giant vertical eddies, horizontal vortices, deep-sea storms, tsunamis, and internal waves (Wong et al., 2017). All these processes affect the distribution of several types of zooplankton, including the radiolarians, foraminiferans, and dinoflagellates. Also, cnidarians, crustaceans, chordates, and molluscs are included. These zooplanktons are essential parts of the food chain and therefore play a significant role in the survival of marine life. Thus, for this assignment, the class data was collected and used to develop a report based on the effects of zooplankton distribution on a specific region taken as a sample. The report will explore the zooplankton distribution on Cleve....
