Dr. Bill Peterson (born 1942) passed away on August 12, 2017 after having bravely faced cancer for the past three years. Bill was an oceanographer, marine biologist and climate scientist for NOAA, who most recently (since 1995) worked at the NOAA lab co-located in the Hatfield Marine Science Center complex (Newport, Oregon) as a senior scientist for more than 20 years. Prior to that, he worked for NOAA in Silver Spring, Maryland (1992-95), where he was the Program Manager of the US GLOBEC Program and Director of US GLOBEC Interagency Program Coordination Office. In 2016 he was awarded a Distinguished Career Award by NOAA and three times he was a NOAA Bronze Awardee (2004, 2005, 2008). Bill provided leadership and service to a number of national or international initiatives. These include the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), US GLOBEC, and Eastern Pacific Oceanography Conferences (EPOC). He also organized the first two annual workshops on “Ecology of Juvenile Salmonids in the Coastal Zone off the West Coast of North America” (1999 and 2000). To honor Bill, his friends and colleagues have organized a commemorative issue focusing on topics related to Dr. Peterson's interests in.

Guest Editors: E.Curchitser, K.Rose, S.Ito, M.Peck and M.Kishi
This special issue is dedicated to Dr. Bernard (Bern) Megrey, who was lost from PICES and his family far too early. Bern achieved many scientific accomplishments during his career in fisheries and oceanography and served PICES in many different roles, sometimes simultaneously. Bern is the only recipient of both of the major PICES awards–the PICES Ocean Monitoring Service Award (POMA) and the Wooster Award that recognizes individuals for significant scientific contributions to North Pacific marine science. The sixteen papers in this issue display some of the breadth of models in use for understanding the mechanisms linking environmental forcing to biological responses in ocean systems–it is a collection that Bern would be proud of.
