Behavior and Energy of the M2 Internal Tide in the Madagascar–Mascarene Region

Remote Sensing
Internal tides serve as essential intermediate steps in the cascading of oceanic energy, playing a crucial role in oceanic mixing. M2 internal tides are the dominant tidal constituent in many oceanic regions, significantly influencing ocean dynamics. The

Subduction Within the Proto‐Tethys Ocean Revealed by Recognition of the Earliest Phanerozoic Intra‐Oceanic Arc, Northern Tibetan Plateau

Earth and Space Science
The possibility that the Proto‐Tethys Ocean may have undergone intra‐oceanic subduction during ocean closure remains poorly constrained due to a lack of geological evidence for a mature intra‐oceanic arc.

Ocean motion on the Yermak Plateau : - tidal and air-ocean interactions

, 2020
This study focuses on the tidal and atmospheric dynamics controlling the overflow of warm Atlantic Water, crossing over the Yermak Plateau, which can be seen as a doorstep to the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic conditions are changing due to the general global warming, and in order to make good predictions of the future climate north of Svalbard and further ...

Contrasting Drydown Time Scales: SMAP L-Band vs. AMSR2 C-Band Brightness Temperatures Against Ground Observations and SMAP Products

Remote Sensing
Surface water loss, regulated by natural factors such as surface properties and atmospheric conditions, is a complex process across multiple spatiotemporal scales. This study compared the statistical characteristics of drydown time scale (τ) derived from

Origin and composition of the Caribbean Oceanic Plateau

, 1999
The Caribbean plateau is believed to have formed in the Pacific through melting in a mantle plume. Parts of the plateau accreted around the Caribbean and on the Pacific coast of Colombia and Equador; other parts form the floor of the Caribbean Sea. We studied samples from Curaçao Island and the Beata Ridge in the central Caribbean, and from Gorgona ...

Dike Swarms in the Oceanic Lithosphere Beneath the Ontong Java Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters
The Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) is believed to have formed through large‐scale Cretaceous volcanism, but the impact of the massive volcanism on the lithosphere remains largely unknown.

Warming Tropical Indian Ocean Wets the Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters
Abstract Accurate detection and attribution of past climate change are crucial for projecting future climate change and formulating proper policies. In this study, we show that the warming of the tropical Indian Ocean contributes to the observed wetting trend in the Tibetan plateau.

Structural and Morphologic Study of Shatsky Rise Oceanic Plateau in the Northwest Pacific Ocean from 2D Multichannel Seismic Reflection and Bathymetry Data and Implications for Oceanic Plateau Evolution

, 2014
Shatsky Rise is one of the largest oceanic plateaus, a class of volcanic features whose formation is poorly understood. It is also a plateau that was formed near spreading ridges, but the connection is unclear.
