Basin‐Scale Marine Heatwave Types in the Gulf of Mexico: Wind–Humidity Controls on Latent Heat‐Loss Suppression and Ocean‐State Modulation of Vertical Thermal Structure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) have become more frequent and intense, yet the mechanisms governing basin‐scale events remain incompletely understood. EOF–k‐means clustering of event‐mean sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) during 1982–2024 identifies four recurrent, seasonally dependent spatial regimes: two stronger ...

A Novel Mesoscale Eddy Identification Method Using Enhanced Interpolation and A Posteriori Guidance

open access: yesSensors
Mesoscale eddies are pivotal oceanographic phenomena affecting marine environments. Accurate and stable identification of these eddies is essential for advancing research on their dynamics and effects.

Integration of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions With a Land‐Atmosphere Coupled Model in the Gray Zone

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Clouds strongly impact net surface radiation, creating differential heating patterns, and trigger land breezes that in turn organize cloud development. These dial processes determine the location of persistent ecohydrological regimes at local scales. Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) directly impact the diurnal cycle of cloud optical depth, and

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 3398-3421, November 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

Projected Changes of Mesoscale Eddy Activity in Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) plays a vital role in the uptake of heat and carbon, thereby regulating global climate. Mesoscale eddies affect mode‐water subduction and transport in the Southern Ocean.

Impact of mesoscale eddy transfer heat uptake in an eddy-parameterizing ocean model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Using a set of experiments with an eddy-parameterizing ocean model, it is found that the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) intensifies with the decrease of the density-dependent mesoscale eddy transfer.

Coral Reef‐Level Upwelling in an Internal Wave Hotspot Modulated by Mesoscale Dynamics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Coral reefs in the northern South China Sea experience some of the world’s most energetic internal waves (IWs), yet records of how these dynamics influence reef‐level conditions are rare. Using over 6 years of temperature data from Dongsha Atoll, we show that IWs drive diel temperature fluctuations that reduce subsurface heat exposure and ...

A deformation-based parametrization of ocean mesoscale eddy reynolds stresses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ocean mesoscale eddies strongly affect the strength and variability of large-scale ocean jets such as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extension. Their spatial scales are too small to be fully resolved in many current climate models and hence their effects ...

Fractal Dimension of Shallow Cumulus Cloud Boundaries Beyond Bulk Fractal Scaling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Cloud boundaries reflect turbulent mixing and cloud–environment interactions, but their geometric complexity remains poorly quantified. Here, we investigate the complexity of shallow cumulus cloud edge using two fractal approaches: the bulk area–perimeter method and the individual‐cloud box‐counting method.
