First records of the blurred lantern shark Etmopterus bigelowi from the Cayman Islands, Western Atlantic

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The genus Etmopterus is the most speciose group of small bodied deep-sea sharks found throughout the tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic. Despite exhibiting a global distribution at the genus-level, the blurred lantern shark (Etempoterus bigelowi ...

A Rossby whistle: a resonant basin mode observed in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We show that an important source of coastal sea level variability around the Caribbean Sea is a resonant basin mode. The mode consists of a baroclinic Rossby wave which propagates westward across the basin and is rapidly returned to the east along the ...

On the Impact of the Caribbean Counter Current in the Guajira Upwelling System

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The variability of La Guajira upwelling system, in the south-central Caribbean Sea, is strongly influenced by the intensity and location of the atmospheric Caribbean Low-Level Jet (CLLJ), a near-surface branch of the easterlies, as well as by the ...

Seasonal sea level cycle in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2012
The seasonal sea level cycle has been investigated in the Caribbean Sea using altimetry and tide gauge time series from 27 stations and is characterized by large spatial variability. The coastal annual harmonic has amplitudes that range from 2 cm to 9 cm, peaking between August and October and semi‐annual harmonic with maximum amplitude of 6 cm, with ...

Northern Hemisphere Glaciation during the Globally Warm Early Late Pliocene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The early Late Pliocene (3.6 to ~3.0 million years ago) is the last extended interval in Earth's history when atmospheric CO2 concentrations were comparable to today's and global climate was warmer.

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Controls of Caribbean surface hydrology during the mid- to late Holocene: insights from monthly resolved coral records [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2013
Several proxy-based and modeling studies have investigated long-term changes in Caribbean climate during the Holocene, however, very little is known on its variability on short timescales.
