Phytoplankton Bloom Changes During Three Regime Shifts Derived From Sea Ice Concentration in the Ross Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) plays an important role in the Antarctic polynyas, especially where biological interactions through changes in chlorophyll‐a concentration (CHL) phenology are concerned. To specifically understand how much SIC change affects CHL in the Ross Sea polynya (RSP), the regime shift index (RSI) was applied to the SIC ...

Investigating the Effect of Internal Waves on Vertical Ice Melting Rates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Polar ice sheets are losing mass as a result of ocean‐driven melting processes and thus affecting global climate and sea level. Understanding the relevant dynamics and interactions at the ice‐ocean interface is crucial to developing more accurate sea‐level rise projections, but key ocean processes have not yet been considered in detail.

Cumulative Effect of Synoptic‐Scale Storms on Decadal Mixed‐Layer Temperature Variability in the Mid‐Latitude North Pacific

Geophysical Research Letters
Decadal variability of mixed‐layer temperature (Tm) in the mid‐latitude North Pacific plays a key role in air–sea interactions and regional climate. While previous studies have emphasized the role of large‐scale climate modes in this variability, the ...

Bottom Ekman transport drives transverse flows to shape contourite moat and drift systems

Earth and Planetary Science Letters
Despite six decades of investigation into deepwater sedimentary systems, the mechanisms that generate transverse flows to transfer sediments across contourite channel (moat) and drift systems have remained unclear. Here we present the direct evidence of driving mechanisms from in situ observations of contourite systems, both deep marine (South China ...

Interaction of Ocean Currents and Seamounts: Near‐Bottom Dynamics Around Atlantis II

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This work investigates through a modeling exercise the interaction of a strong, surface current with isolated seamounts, focusing on the Gulf Stream and Atlantis II, one of the New England Seamounts. The roles of bathymetric details and model resolution are investigated with three simulations that consider realistic realizations of the ...

Polyester Microfiber Dynamics in an Estuarine Semi‐Enclosed Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Polyester microfibers are one of the most abundant microplastics in marine ecosystems, yet their observed near‐surface concentrations are inconsistent with expectations based on their density. To study the mechanisms governing polyester microfiber transport and fate, we developed a Lagrangian particle‐tracking module using Parcels to simulate ...

Episodic Northward Transport Along Nares Strait Brings Anomalously Warm Water Into the Arctic Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Nares Strait is one of the primary Arctic export pathways for sea ice and freshwater, connecting the Arctic Ocean to the subpolar North Atlantic. The southward transport along the strait, primarily driven by the higher sea level in the Arctic compared to Baffin Bay, has occasionally been observed to reverse.
