Bivariate sea-ice assimilation for global-ocean analysis–reanalysis [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2023 In the last decade, various satellite missions have been monitoring the status of the cryosphere and its evolution. Besides sea-ice concentration data, available since the 1980s, sea-ice thickness retrievals are now ready to be used in global operational

The bulk parameterizations of turbulent air–sea fluxes in NEMO4: the origin of sea surface temperature differences in a global model study [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 Wind stress and turbulent heat fluxes are the major driving forces that modify the ocean dynamics and thermodynamics. In the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) ocean general circulation model, these turbulent air–sea fluxes (TASFs) can ...

Southern Europe and western Asian marine heatwaves (SEWA-MHWs): a dataset based on macroevents [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Marine heatwaves (MHWs) induce significant impacts on marine ecosystems. There is a growing need for knowledge about extreme climate events to better inform decision-makers on future climate-related risks.

Drivers and impact of the seasonal variability of the organic carbon offshore transport in the Canary upwelling system [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 The Canary upwelling system (CanUS) is a productive coastal region characterized by strong seasonality and an intense offshore transport of organic carbon (Corg) to the adjacent oligotrophic offshore waters.

Estimating Coastal Winds by Assimilating High-Frequency Radar Spectrum Data in SWAN
Sensors, 2021 Many activities require accurate wind and wave forecasts in the coastal ocean. The assimilation of fixed buoy observations into spectral wave models such as SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) can provide improved estimates of wave forecasts fields.

Northward shift of the Kuroshio Extension during 1993–2021
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Kuroshio Extension (KE) flows eastward at the northern boundary of the North Pacific subtropical gyre. By transporting large amounts of seawater with heat, the KE contributes significantly to the formation of sea surface temperature (SST) fields ...

Ocean biogeochemical modelling
Nature Reviews Methods Primers, 2022 Ocean biogeochemical models describe the ocean’s circulation, physical properties, biogeochemical properties and their transformations using coupled differential equations. Numerically approximating these equations enables simulation of the dynamic evolution of the ocean state in realistic global or regional spatial domains, across time spans from ...

Cold- versus warm-season-forced variability of the Kuroshio and North Pacific subtropical mode water
Scientific Reports, 2023 The ocean responds to atmospheric variations. Changes in sea surface winds, surface air temperature, and surface air humidity cause upper ocean variability by modulating air-sea momentum and heat exchanges. Upper ocean variability in the mid-latitudes on

The Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone and Pack Ice Area in CMEMS GREP Ensemble Reanalysis Product
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Global ocean reanalyses provide consistent and comprehensive records of ocean and sea ice variables and are therefore of pivotal significance for climate studies, particularly in data-sparse regions such as Antarctica.

A High Resolution Reanalysis for the Mediterranean Sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 In order to be able to forecast the weather and estimate future climate changes in the ocean, it is crucial to understand the past and the mechanisms responsible for the ocean variability.
