Upper Ocean Cycling of Iron South of the Polar Front: Biological Patterns and Processes
Abstract Samples from the upper 300 m along the 52°S band, south of the Antarctic Polar Front in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, including a 3‐week monitoring of a persistent bloom, were analyzed to advance our understanding of iron cycling and supply to recurrent phytoplankton blooms.

Spatial Patterns and Regulation of Nanomolar‐Level Nutrients in the Surface Oligotrophic Oceans
Abstract Ambient nutrient concentrations and their ratios regulate phytoplankton physiology and biomass in the ocean. In oligotrophic surface waters, nitrate and ammonium (NH4) concentrations are often below conventional analytical detection limits (50–100 nM).

Global Spatial and Temporal Variability of the Oceanic Cool Skin Effect
Abstract The oceanic cool skin effect is characterized by a temperature depression between the ocean's submillimeter thermal skin layer (SSTskin) and the underlying water (SSTdepth). This study evaluates the ability of the widely used Fairall et al. (1996), https://doi.org/10.1029/95jc03190 model (F96) to simulate the cool skin effect using surface ...

Tidal Modulation of Waves Around the Aleutian Islands
Abstract Forming a critical part of the North Pacific Great Circle Route, the narrow passes of the Aleutian Islands are considered among the United States' most treacherous waters for maritime navigation. This study investigates the tidal modulation of surface gravity waves throughout the archipelago using a high‐resolution, unstructured‐grid, coupled ...

On the Assessment of Sinking Particle Fluxes From In Situ Particle Size Distributions
Abstract The biological carbon pump is a vital component of the global carbon cycle, particularly through the sinking of particulate organic carbon (POC) into the ocean interior. Particle size distribution (PSD) observations from the Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) have been widely used to quantify sinking POC fluxes.

Abstract Mounting environmental stressors are driving Caribbean reefs from coral to sponge and macroalgae dominance, necessitating a need for more nuanced metrics of reef metabolism under trophic transitions. Drawing upon four seasonally replicated field campaigns to Curaçao, we reveal highly variable net ecosystem productivity (−243 ± 69 C m−2 day−1 ...
