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.

Nitrate Distribution in Pacific Winter Water Along the Northern Edge of the Chukchi Sea
Abstract Nutrient‐rich, Pacific‐origin winter water (PWW) is a primary source of nitrate for the western Arctic Ocean, spurring primary production at the base of the food web. This cold water exits the Chukchi Sea shelf via Herald Canyon and Barrow Canyon, which feed the eastward‐flowing Chukchi Shelfbreak Jet (CSJ) and the westward‐flowing Chukchi ...

Improved polar geostrophic surface currents from satellite altimetry
Surface ocean currents in polar regions can be monitored by satellite altimetry-derived geostrophic currents. However, they are characterized by an irregular and sparse data sampling. Therefore, novel methods like an unsupervised classification for detecting water areas within the sea ice area and a combination strategy based on a principal component ...

Asymmetries in Anticyclone Catalyze Submesoscale Motions
Abstract Oceanic mesoscale eddies are often asymmetric, exhibiting horizontal deformation and vertical tilt, yet the implications of these structural asymmetries for finer‐scale dynamics remain poorly understood. Based on a series of high‐resolution numerical experiments, we found that asymmetric anticyclones act as potent catalysts for submesoscale ...

Ocean dynamics of outer solar system satellites
Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean currents and the potential for ice-ocean coupling.

Satellite techniques for determining the geopotential for sea-surface elevations [PDF]
Spaceborne altimetry with measurement accuracies of a few centimeters which has the potential to determine sea surface elevations necessary to compute accurate three-dimensonal geostrophic currents from traditional hydrographic observation is discussed ...

Effects of the oceans on polar motion: Continued investigations [PDF]
Data on the pole tide, the oceanic response to the Chandler wobble were presented. Observed North Sea pole tide enhancement (i.e., larger amplitudes than a static tide would possess) resulted from bottom friction, with the drag coefficient, in ...

Nonlinear transverse oscillations of a geostrophic front [PDF]
A planar problem of nonlinear transverse oscillations of the surface (warm) front of a finite width is considered within the framework of a reduced-gravity model of the ocean.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides unprecedented high-resolution observations of sea-surface height. However, their direct use in ocean circulation studies is complicated by the presence of small-scale unbalanced motion ...
