Semiempirical Dissipation Source Functions for Ocean Waves. Part I: Definition, Calibration, and Validation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
New parameterizations for the spectral dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, in a way consistent with ...

Ocean Heat Content Increase of the Maritime Continent Since the 1990s

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The Maritime Continent (MC), a critical region for inter‐basin climate interaction, harbors the world's highest marine biodiversity. Ocean warming in the MC, although with notable impacts on regional climate and marine ecosystems, remains poorly ...

Intensification of Decadal Variability in Sea Surface Salinity in the Western Tropical Pacific

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The decadal variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) is crucial for the global water cycle and the climate system. Previous studies have indicated that the SSS in the western tropical Pacific (WTP) Ocean exhibits significant decadal variability, which ...

Declining oxygen in the global ocean and coastal waters

open access: yesScience, 2018
Beneath the waves, oxygen disappears As plastic waste pollutes the oceans and fish stocks decline, unseen below the surface another problem grows: deoxygenation. Breitburg et al.

Quantifying the Role of Oceanic Feedbacks on ENSO Asymmetry

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
The role of oceanic feedbacks in determining the asymmetry of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) magnitude, spatial structure, and duration is quantified on the basis of a novel temperature variance budget.

Barrier Layer Variability in the Central Equatorial Pacific Associated With ENSO Development

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Previous studies suggest that a thick barrier layer can strengthen surface warming during El Niño and vice versa for La Niña. Here we find barrier layer changes of up to 6 m in the central equatorial Pacific (CEP, 170°E−160°W, 5°S–5°N) in response to a 1°

Effects of Dipole Eddies on Acoustic Propagation in the Northeastern South China Sea

open access: yesOcean-Land-Atmosphere Research
Mesoscale eddies can greatly influence underwater acoustic propagation, which holds substantial academic and practical importance. The impacts of individual cyclonic eddies (CEs) or anticyclonic eddies (AEs) on acoustic propagation have been reported in ...

An Argo‐Derived Background Diffusivity Parameterization for Improved Ocean Simulations in the Tropical Pacific

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Model biases are substantial in ocean and coupled ocean‐atmosphere simulations in the tropical Pacific Ocean, including a too cold tongue and too diffuse thermocline. These biases can be partly attributed to vertical mixing parameterizations in which the
