A new scale‐selective measure of curvature for meteorological fields
We introduce a novel diagnostic called curvature using radial variation (CURV) that quantifies the local cyclonic or anticyclonic curvature of mean‐sea‐level pressure or geopotential height gridded fields over selected scales. A depiction of how CURV values relate to differing cyclonic curvature is shown in the figure.

Enhanced North Pacific subtropical gyre circulation during the late Holocene
The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre circulation redistributes heat from the Western Pacific Warm Pool towards the mid- to high-latitude North Pacific. However, the driving mechanisms of this circulation and how it changed over the Holocene remain poorly ...

Abstract Phenological variation, such as the migration trends of salmonids, may provide resilience in changing environmental scenarios, influencing individual survival and population productivity. Phenological shifts may be particularly consequential for anadromous species that rely on seasonal cues for migration between freshwater and marine habitats ...

Summer snow extent heralding of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation [PDF]
[1] Winter climate over the North Atlantic and European sector is modulated by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). We find that the summer extent of snow cover over northern North America and northern Eurasia is linked significantly (p < 0.01) to the ...

Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are contributing to widespread changes in the global ocean carbon budget. Long-term trends on the air-sea flux of CO2 have demonstrated that the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSTG) is a net sink of CO2, whereas the ...

Mixtures of Neural Network Experts With Application to Phytoplankton Flow Cytometry Data
ABSTRACT Flow cytometry is a valuable technique that measures the optical properties of particles at a single‐cell resolution. When deployed in the ocean, flow cytometry allows oceanographers to study different types of photosynthetic microbes called phytoplankton.

Abstract Reconstructing past interactions between the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and changing environmental conditions in the Ross Sea region can help determine long‐term WAIS stability. Existing sedimentary records reveal changes to oceanography, sea ice and ice sheet extent over the glacial‐interglacial cycles of the last ∼800 kyr.

Recent studies have identified the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) as a decadal mode of climate variability that is linked to previously unexplained fluctuations of salinity, nutrient, and chlorophyll in the Northeast Pacific.

A new weakly coupled data assimilation (CDA) system based on the dimension‐reduced projection four‐dimensional variational data assimilation (DRP‐4DVar) with a simplified off‐line localization technique and a fully coupled model, i.e., the Grid‐point ...

Abstract The North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (NASG) has warmed much less than the global ocean over recent decades, thereby suggesting a human‐caused slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This North Atlantic “warming hole” is also found in climate projections, yet with a model‐dependent timing, location and intensity. Here we
