The importance of altimeter and scatterometer data for ocean prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The prediction of ocean circulation using satellite altimeter data is discussed. Three classes of oceanic response to atmospheric forcing are outlined and examined.

An Alternative Way to Parameterizing the Nonlocal Scale Sensible Heat Flux Using the Flux Imbalance and K‐Theory Approach

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Accurately representing the surface sensible heat flux (SHF) in Earth System Models (ESMs) is of paramount importance and challenge. This study introduces an alternative surface‐layer SHF correction scheme by modeling nonlocal scale SHF through flux imbalance (FI) prediction models while employing the conventional gradient diffusion approach ...

Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...

MESOSCALE EDDIES AND PELAGIC FISHERY OFF CENTRAL CHILE (33-40°S)

open access: yesGayana, 2004
The rich biological productivity within the Peru-Chile current system depends mainly on wind-driven coastal upwelling, which brings colder, nutrient-rich, subsurface waters into the illuminated upper layer, promoting high phytoplankton productivity whish

Reconstructing the Three-Dimensional Thermohaline Structure of Mesoscale Eddies in the South China Sea Using In Situ Measurements and Multi-Sensor Satellites

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The evolution of the three-dimensional thermohaline structure of mesoscale eddies is crucial for assessing energy and mass transfer during their long-distance propagation in the ocean.

Estimating Atmospheric Turbulence Intensity From Cup Anemometer Data

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Conventional cup anemometers are widely used but limited by coarse sampling in representing turbulence. To address this, we introduce a cumulative spectral density (CSD) approach that quantifies turbulence contributions from 1‐min wind speed records while explicitly accounting for aliasing.

Impact of ENSO on Nitrous Oxide Emissions in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Nitrous oxide (N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$) is a powerful greenhouse gas, with the ocean contributing ∼4.2 Tg N y−1 to global N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ emissions. The Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) is a hotspot of N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ emissions due to high N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ production under low‐oxygen ...

Mesoscale cloud phenomena observed by LANDSAT [PDF]

open access: yes
Examples of certain mesoscale cloud features - jet cirrus, eddies/vortices, cloud banding, and wave clouds - were collected from LANDSAT imagery and placed into Mason's four groups of causes of cloud formation based on the mechanism of vertical motion ...

Global Eddy Subduction Carbon Pump From Argo Floats

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The eddy subduction pump, part of the biological pump, transports carbon‐rich surface filaments downward via kilometer‐scale turbulence in frontal regions, over days to weeks. Because of its spatial and temporal scales, this pump has been challenging to observe and quantify.
