Increasing vertical mixing to reduce Southern Ocean deep convection in NEMO3.4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Most CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) models unrealistically form Antarctic Bottom Water by open ocean deep convection in the Weddell and Ross seas.

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

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

Ocean temperature and salinity components of the Madden-Julian oscillation observed by Argo floats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
New diagnostics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) cycle in ocean temperature and, for the first time, salinity are presented. The MJO composites are based on 4 years of gridded Argo float data from 2003 to 2006, and extend from the surface to 1,400 ...

Open-ocean polynyas and deep convection in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractAn open-ocean polynya is a large ice-free area surrounded by sea ice. The Maud Rise Polynya in the Southern Ocean occasionally occurs during the austral winter and spring seasons in the vicinity of Maud Rise near the Greenwich Meridian. In the mid-1970s the Maud Rise Polynya served as a precursor to the more persistent, larger Weddell Polynya ...

Extreme atmospheric rivers in a warming climate

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Extreme atmospheric rivers (EARs) are responsible for most of the severe precipitation and disastrous flooding along the coastal regions in midlatitudes.

Short-term climate response to a freshwater pulse in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The short-term response of the climate system to a freshwater anomaly in the Southern Ocean is investigated using a coupled global climate model. As a result of the anomaly, ventilation of deep waters around Antarctica is inhibited, causing a warming of ...

Picocyanobacteria and deep-ocean fluorescent dissolved organic matter share similar optical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Marine chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and its related fluorescent components (FDOM), which are widely distributed but highly photobleached in the surface ocean, are critical in regulating light attenuation in the ocean. However, the origins

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

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Tracking ocean heat uptake during the surface warming hiatus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ocean heat uptake is observed to penetrate deep into the Atlantic and Southern Oceans during the recent hiatus of global warming. Here we show that the deep heat penetration in these two basins is not unique to the hiatus but is characteristic of ...
