  Abstract

The occurrence of large patches of gelatinous zooplankton has for decades been considered to be unpredictable. An evaluation of our own data and published results on abundances of doliolids and salps from ocean margins reveals that a considerable degree of prediction is possible, based upon meteorological and boundary current intrusion dynamics.

{dagger} Order of authorship was determined by alphabetical order of surnames. These authors contributed equally to the composition of this paper.
