Bacteria as Passive Passengers in the Equatorial Pacific Biological Carbon Pump
Abstract Bacteria are important agents modulating the efficiency of the ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP). The long‐standing view considers bacteria as degraders of sinking particulate organic carbon (POC), yet underappreciates their contribution to carbon export.

The warming rate of global mean surface temperature slowed down during 1998–2012. Previous studies pointed out role of increasing ocean heat uptake during this global warming slowdown, but its mechanism remains under discussion. Our numerical simulations,

Ekman transport divergence in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean
I Encuentro de la Oceanografía Física Española (EOF), 13-15 de octubre 2010, Barcelona We use wind stress data, as obtained from the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds Scatterometer, to calculate the monthly Ekman meridional transports across 3.75°N and 3.75°S during a 10 years period, from 1999 to 2009.

Abstract Previous studies indicate that climate models misrepresent southeast United States coastal sea level variability but do not propose a definitive mechanistic explanation. Here, by isolating a mode of variability responsible for the majority of observed nonseasonal United States East Coast (USEC) sea level variance and comparing its ...

Toroidal and poloidal energy in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection
We consider rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of a fluid with a Prandtl number of $Pr = 0.8$ in a cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio $\Gamma = 1/2$. Direct numerical simulations were performed for the Rayleigh number range $10^5 \leq Ra \leq 10^9$

Abstract The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictability has notably declined since the 1998–2013 global warming hiatus, challenging conventional sea surface temperature (SST)‐based forecast models. We identify sea surface salinity (SSS) as a critical yet underappreciated driver for restoring ENSO forecast skill post‐hiatus.

A Dynamical Model of the Tropical Pacific Zonal SST Gradient Change Under Global Warming
Abstract How the tropical Pacific mean‐state sea surface temperature (SST) responds to global warming is an ongoing heated debate, as climate models are flawed and their projections are opposite to the observed zonal gradient strengthening. Here, we build a dynamical tropical Pacific air–sea coupled model that incorporates three key mechanisms of the ...
