Abstract Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based on depth‐dependent slip regimes: the slow earthquake, asperity, and stable creeping zones.

Self‐Affine Scaling of Earth's Islands
Abstract Earth's relief is approximately self‐affine, meaning a zoom‐in on a small region looks statistically similar to a large region upon rescaling. Fractional Brownian surfaces give an idealized self‐affine model of Earth's relief with one parameter, the Hurst exponent H $H$, characterizing the roughness of the surface.

Turbulent Mixing and Dissipation Around Rough Seamounts
Abstract Seamounts are critical components of the global ocean energy budget, contributing significantly to turbulent dissipation through their interaction with large‐scale flows. However, most previous numerical investigations used smoothed bathymetry that omits small‐scale topographic variability. We use turbulence‐resolving large‐eddy simulations to

Eddy Kinetic Energy Contribution to Total Ocean Kinetic Energy From Multi‐Satellite Altimetry
Abstract Ocean mesoscale structures play a central role in transporting oceanic properties, accounting for a significant fraction of ocean's total kinetic energy (KE). Using 23 years of a novel multisatellite altimetric estimate, we assess the contribution of eddy kinetic energy (EKE), mean kinetic energy (MKE) and cross terms to the temporal mean and ...

Nitrate Distribution in Pacific Winter Water Along the Northern Edge of the Chukchi Sea
Abstract Nutrient‐rich, Pacific‐origin winter water (PWW) is a primary source of nitrate for the western Arctic Ocean, spurring primary production at the base of the food web. This cold water exits the Chukchi Sea shelf via Herald Canyon and Barrow Canyon, which feed the eastward‐flowing Chukchi Shelfbreak Jet (CSJ) and the westward‐flowing Chukchi ...
