Growth of ocean thermal energy conversion resources under greenhouse warming regulated by oceanic eddies

Nature Communications, 2022
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) resources provide a renewable solution to fuel our future. Here the authors show a significant increase of OTEC resources under greenhouse warming with the increasing rate regulated by oceanic eddies.

Interannual variation in the East Asian summer monsoon-tropical Atlantic SST relationship modulated by the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
Tropical Atlantic (TA) SST variability can impact the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). Here, we find that the interannual EASM–TA relationship exhibits an evident interdecadal variation modulated by the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO).

Oceanic mesoscale eddies as crucial drivers of global marine heatwaves

Nature Communications, 2023
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged extreme warm water events in the ocean, exerting devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. A comprehensive knowledge of physical processes controlling MHW life cycles is pivotal to improve MHW forecast capacity, yet ...

Antarctic climate, Southern Ocean circulation patterns, and deep water formation during the Eocene [PDF]

, 2017
We assess early-to-middle Eocene seawater neodymium (Nd) isotope records from seven Southern Ocean deep-sea drill sites to evaluate the role of Southern Ocean circulation in long-term Cenozoic climate change.

Modulation of Cyclones With Tropical and Extratropical Origins by Mesoscale SSTs in the Kuroshio Extension Region

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Two typical classes of cyclones originating from the tropics (ToCs) and extratropics (EoCs) with distinct preconditions, and passing the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region in cold season in the North Pacific are detected and tracked based on high‐resolution ...

Spatial and Temporal Scales of Sverdrup Balance [PDF]

, 2013
Sverdrup balance underlies much of the theory of ocean circulation and provides a potential tool for describing the interior ocean transport from only the wind stress.

Coccolithophore biodiversity controls carbonate export in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

, 2020
Southern Ocean waters are projected to undergo profound changes in their physical and chemical properties in the coming decades. Coccolithophore blooms in the Southern Ocean are thought to account for a major fraction of the global marine calcium ...

Cascade of Internal Wave Energy Catalyzed by Eddy‐Topography Interactions in the Deep South China Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
The intensity of deep‐ocean mixing critically shapes the global overturning circulation, but the energy cascade participating in the elevated mixing above rough topography remains poorly understood.

Earth's Energy Imbalance and Implications [PDF]

, 2011
Improving observations of ocean heat content show that Earth is absorbing more energy from the sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum.
