Processes Impacting the Fate of Small River Plumes Following Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We investigate conditions for small discharge plume formation and transport using observations near a low‐inflow estuary in San Diego, CA. We find that the precise timing of discharge and tides influences the source region of small plumes and determines when plume formation occurs.

Attribution of the Spread in Antarctic Sea Ice‐Driven Water Mass Transformation in Coupled Climate Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Sea ice plays a critical role in the Southern Ocean freshwater budget and influences water mass transformation (WMT) by redistributing freshwater across density classes. However, the mechanisms driving inter‐model spread in this process remain poorly understood.

Beyond Thickness: A Global Energy‐Based Assessment of Barrier Layer Insulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Barrier layers (BLs) reduce vertical mixing and limit the cold‐thermocline‐water entrainment into the mixed layer, influencing a wide range of air–sea interaction processes and ocean dynamics. They are conventionally characterized by their barrier layer thickness (BLT), but BLT cannot quantify either the density‐stratification intensity or the

Associations Between the Seasonal Darkening of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Duration of Bare Ice

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Darkening of the Greenland ice sheet is known to amplify surface melting. Here, analysis of automatic weather station (AWS) data around the ice sheet and satellite‐derived albedo data reveals that the bare ice duration (BID) is a predictor of the average albedo during summer (June through August, JJA, α¯JJA ${\bar{\alpha }}_{\mathrm{JJA ...

Labrador Coastal Current Variability During the Holocene

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Labrador Coastal Current (LCC) is a buoyancy driven current comprised of outflows from Baffin Bay and Hudson Bay that transports freshwater and nutrients to the Scotian Shelf and Gulf of Maine in the NW Atlantic. This study reconstructs Holocene flow speeds over the Labrador Shelf, using the sortable silt index at two core sites off ...
