Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Solar‐Powered Integrated Thermoelectric System for Simultaneous Electricity and Freshwater Production With Salt and Brine Recovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
A solar‐powered integrated thermoelectric generator only uses solar heating and seawater evaporative cooling for synergistically co‐generating electricity, freshwater, concentrated brine, and salt within a single device. It will be an important breakthrough, providing a practical zero‐carbon route in efficient water‐electricity cogeneration and ocean ...

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission: A Breakthrough in Radar Remote Sensing of the Ocean and Land Surface Water

Geophysical Research Letters
The elevations of water surfaces hold important information on the earth's oceans and land surface waters. Ocean sea surface height is related to the internal change of the ocean's density and mass associated with ocean circulation and its response to ...

Arctic Ocean circulation, processes and water masses: A description of observations and ideas with focus on the period prior to the International Polar Year 2007–2009

, 2015
The evolving knowledge of the Arctic Ocean, its hydrography and its water masses and their transformations and circulation is reviewed starting with the observations made on Fram 1893–1896 and extending to the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2009 ...

Evaluation of CMIP6 Models in Simulating Australian Monsoon Over Northern Australia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study assesses CMIP6 models for their ability to simulate key aspects of the Australian summer monsoon, including precipitation patterns, wind circulation, monsoon onset/retreat, and ENSO teleconnections. Most models overestimate rainfall, underestimate wind strength, and simulate more uniform ENSO influence across northeast and northwest Australia.

Dynamics of the Thermohaline Circulation under Wind forcing

, 2001
The ocean thermohaline circulation, also called meridional overturning circulation, is caused by water density contrasts. This circulation has large capacity of carrying heat around the globe and it thus affects the energy budget and further affects the ...

Mapping the Spatial Scales of Australian Extreme Precipitation Using Daily Rain Gauges

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present the first continent‐wide analysis of the spatial scales of daily extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in Australia using station observations and semivariogram analysis. EPEs generally have larger spatial scales at higher latitudes, with strong seasonal and regional differences shaped by topography, meteorological regimes, and climate ...
