Description and Mechanisms of the Mid-Year Upwelling in the Southern Caribbean Sea from Remote Sensing and Local Data

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
The southern Caribbean Sea experiences strong coastal upwelling between December and April due to the seasonal strengthening of the trade winds. A second upwelling was recently detected in the southeastern Caribbean during June–August, when local coastal

A Prospective Cooling Machine for the Svalbard Branch of Norwegian Atlantic Water in a Future Climate

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The evolution of air‐sea interaction and the ocean north of Svalbard is investigated using a high‐resolution configuration of the coupled climate model HadGEM3‐GC3.1 under a high‐emission pathway (SSP5‐8.5). To the west and north of Svalbard, where the West Spitsbergen Current—the northward branch of the Norwegian Atlantic Current—carries warm

The role of ekman currents, geostrophy, and stokes drift in the accumulation of floating microplastic [PDF]

, 2019
Floating microplastic in the oceans is known to accumulate in the subtropical ocean gyres, but unclear is still what causes that accumulation. We investigate the role of various physical processes, such as surface Ekman and geostrophic currents, surface ...

Basin‐Scale Marine Heatwave Types in the Gulf of Mexico: Wind–Humidity Controls on Latent Heat‐Loss Suppression and Ocean‐State Modulation of Vertical Thermal Structure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) have become more frequent and intense, yet the mechanisms governing basin‐scale events remain incompletely understood. EOF–k‐means clustering of event‐mean sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) during 1982–2024 identifies four recurrent, seasonally dependent spatial regimes: two stronger ...

ENSO's Imprint on the Southern Ocean: Wind Waves Drive Surface Cross‐Frontal Flow

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Tropical teleconnection associated with El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is widely recognized for regulating multiple physical processes in the Southern Ocean. However, despite its influence on Southern Ocean wind patterns, the response of surface flow has received little attention.

Decadal Sea Level Variability Along the U.S. East Coast: Roles of Extratropical Versus Tropical Climate Modes Over the North Atlantic Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Coastal decadal sea level anomalies (SLAs) in the U.S. east coast (USEC) play a critical role in modulating coastal flooding frequency, yet relative influences of tropical versus extratropical climate modes over the North Atlantic remain unresolved.

Asymmetric Particle Aggregation in Ocean Eddies Driven by Eddy‐Wind Interactions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies, prevalent across the global ocean, play a crucial role in the transport and mixing of climate‐sensitive tracers such as heat, salt, and nutrients. While traditional quasi‐geostrophic theory predicts symmetric kinematics and equivalent material transport by cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, our analysis of satellite altimeter ...
