Sea state bias in altimeter sea level estimates determined by combining wave model and satellite data [PDF]
, 2010 This study documents a method for increasing the precision of satellite-derived sea level measurements. Results are achieved using an enhanced three-dimensional (3-D) sea state bias (SSB) correction model derived from both Jason-1 altimeter ocean ...

Seasonal forecasting of subsurface marine heatwaves
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Marine heatwaves damage marine ecosystems and services, with effects identified mostly below the ocean surface. To create a truly user-relevant detection system, it is necessary to provide subsurface forecasts.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The Loop Current (LC), which is the main mesoscale dynamic feature of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), has a major impact on the circulation and its variability in the interior Gulf. The LC is a highly variable and dynamic feature. It changes shape from a short

Microplastics in the Mediterranean: Variability From Observations and Model Analysis
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In this study, the abundance and properties (size, shape, and polymer type) of microplastics (MPs) in sea surface water samples, collected during two sampling campaigns over 2018–2019, in four coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea (Saronikos Gulf ...

Predictions of the atmospheric composition of GJ 1132b [PDF]
, 2016 GJ 1132 b is a nearby Earth-sized exoplanet transiting an M dwarf, and is amongst the most highly characterizable small exoplanets currently known. In this paper we study the interaction of a magma ocean with a water-rich atmosphere on GJ 1132b and ...

Sensitivity of a Coarse‐Resolution Global Ocean Model to a Spatially Variable Neutral Diffusivity
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Motivated by recent advances in mapping mesoscale eddy tracer mixing in the ocean we evaluate the sensitivity of a coarse‐resolution global ocean model to a spatially variable neutral diffusion coefficient κn(x, y, z).

Modelling Neutron-Star Ocean Dynamics
Universe, 2023 We revisit the calculation of mode oscillations in the ocean of a rotating neutron star, which may be excited during thermonuclear X-ray bursts. Our present theoretical understanding of ocean modes relies heavily on the traditional approximation commonly employed in geophysics. The approximation elegantly decouples the radial and angular sectors of the

Basin-scale tracer replacement timescales in a one-degree global OGCM
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 This study investigates basin-scale tracer replacement timescales of the two polar oceans and the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans using a one-degree global ocean-sea ice model that represents oceans under the largest Antarctic ice shelves, the ...

Strategies for the Simulation of Sea Ice Organic Chemistry: Arctic Tests and Development
Geosciences, 2017 A numerical mechanism connecting ice algal ecodynamics with the buildup of organic macromolecules is tested within modeled pan-Arctic brine channels. The simulations take place offline in a reduced representation of sea ice geochemistry.

Science, 1995 Ocean numerical models have become quite realistic over the past several years as a result of improved methods, faster computers, and global data sets. Models now treat basin-scale to global domains while retaining the fine spatial scales that are important for modeling the transport of heat, salt, and other properties over vast distances.
