Influx of Bay of Bengal Waters and Stirring Trends in the Arabian Sea Based on Satellite Altimetry
Abstract Freshwater transport and stirring affect air–sea interactions in the Arabian Sea (AS). Using three decades of satellite‐based surface currents, this study examines (a) the volume influx of water masses into southeastern AS from the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and (b) horizontal stirring over seasonal to interannual timescales in the AS.

Submesoscale Energy Cycle in a Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Simulation of the Gulf Stream
Abstract This study examines the Gulf Stream energy cycle, with emphasis on the submesoscale pathway relative to other energy sinks. Using a high‐resolution coupled air–sea simulation (CROCO–WRF), we construct a Lorenz diagram based on temporally and spatially separated submesoscale and background energy budgets.

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite observations are shown to agree well with tide gauge and underwater glider data in the Northeast Pacific. The SWOT mission measures sea surface height in a 120‐km wide swath. It had a 1‐day repeat cycle for 3 months in 2023.

Reduced cooling in the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current: investigating mechanisms of change from 30 years of observations [PDF]
The Norwegian Atlantic Current (NwAC) is a principal conduit for poleward heat and salt transport within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and plays a key role of water mass transformation in the Nordic Seas. Its variability exerts a

Detecting surface geostrophic currents using wavelet filter from satellite geodesy
According to the features of spatial spectrum of the dynamic ocean topography (DOT), wavelet filter is proposed to reduce short-wavelength and noise signals in DOT. The surface geostrophic currents calculated from the DOT models filtered by wavelet filter in global and Kuroshio regions show more detailed information than those from the DOT models ...

Mesoscale Eddy Currents Reshape the Spatial Distribution of Wave Height in the Southern Ocean
Abstract Mesoscale eddy currents influence ocean surface waves, but their imprints on wave height remain poorly described by observations. Here, we examine significant wave height (SWH) variations associated with more than 42,000 mesoscale eddies in the Southern Ocean using along‐track Jason‐3 altimeter measurements.

The applicability of the T/S method to geopotential anomaly computations in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]
Methods are tested for computing geopotential anomalies from temperature data in the subtropical Northeast Atlantic. Mean temperature-salinity, salinity-depth and density-depth relationships are determined for 3 x 3° squares, using hydrographie data ...

Ergodicity of Stochastically Forced Large Scale Geophysical Flows
We investigate the ergodicity of 2D large scale quasigeostrophic flows under random wind forcing. We show that the quasigeostrophic flows are ergodic under suitable conditions on the random forcing and on the fluid domain, and under no restrictions on ...

Response of Ocean Mesoscale Coherent Eddies to Global Warming
Abstract Mesoscale vertically coherent ocean eddies—defined here as eddies maintaining rotational coherence across depth—play a fundamental role in Earth's climate system by redistributing heat, salt, and other tracers. Yet it remains unclear how these eddies will respond to global warming.

Survey of El Nino 1957-58 in its relation to tropical pacific meteorology [PDF]
ENGLISH: The survey aims at demonstrating the close relationship between anomalies of sea temperature observed along the tropical Pacific coast of the Americas and those observed in the oceanwide tropical belt. The survey also covers the variations, from
