The Role of Large‐Scale Seasonal Cycle Advection in Maintaining the Mean Ocean Salinity Distribution

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic climate change is projected to intensify the global hydrological cycle, posing substantial risks to human societies. However, monitoring these changes through direct observations remains challenging, particularly over the oceans.

Frontal‐Driven Water‐Mass Transformation in a Western Boundary Current: Evidence From the Yucatan Current

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We report the recurrent formation of waters with thermohaline properties similar to Gulf Common Water (GCW) in the western Yucatan Channel, absent upstream in the Caribbean. Mooring observations and a partial submesoscale‐resolving model show that these Yucatan GCW forms locally when the Yucatan Current separates from the slope, intensifying a

Bipolar Oceanic Processes Drive Indonesian Throughflow Decline Under Climate Warming

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Climate models consistently project a weakening Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) under future warming, but its driving mechanisms remain incompletely explained. Prior studies primarily attribute the ITF decline to changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and Indo‐Pacific winds, but these two processes account for only a ...

A Dynamic Foraging Habitat Distribution Estimate for Green Turtles in the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We develop telemetry‐based habitat models with boosted regression trees to identify the environmental characteristics underpinning foraging habitat suitability for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region. We then predict potentially suitable foraging areas for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region.

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Post‐Release Survival and Behavioral Recovery of a Rehabilitated Short‐Finned Pilot Whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) in the South China Sea Revealed Through Satellite Tracking

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first empirical evidence of successful rehabilitation and post‐release monitoring of a short‐finned pilot whale in the South China Sea—a region where such data are critically lacking despite frequent stranding events. Using satellite telemetry and a dedicated resighting expedition, we documented the 52‐day movement, diving ...

Survival of a Long‐Lived Avian Scavenger: Implications of Age, Season, and Landscape Composition for Mortality Risk

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The goal of this study was to evaluate survival and mortality risk in black vultures (Coragyps atratus), a protected native species of conflict management concern in the United States. High survival rates from this study help explain this species' population growth and range expansion and further inform allowable take for sustainable management ...

Relationships between acoustic scattering layers and ocean stratification: An acoustic approach to estimate mixed layer depth

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Climate Change Projections for the Southwest Pacific Ocean Using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Phase 5 and 6 Models: Implications for Physics, Biogeochemistry, Ecosystems, and Fisheries

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
This article analyses future projections of ocean properties for a region of the south‐west Pacific Ocean encompassing the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone under different climate change emission scenarios. Projections are updated and expanded from previous assessments using a “best” ensemble comprising both CMIP5 and CMIP6 earth system models.

Evidence of Increased Deep Ocean Warming From a Sea Level Budget Approach

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Assessments of the global mean sea level (GMSL) budget over the satellite altimetry era (since the early 1990s) have concluded that the GMSL budget is closed within data uncertainties until 2016. However, studies have shown that since then, the sea level budget based on Argo data down to 2,000 m for the thermosteric contribution is no longer ...
