Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021
Frontogenesis is the fluid-dynamical processes that rapidly sharpen horizontal density gradients and their associated horizontal velocity shears. It is a positive feedback process where the ageostrophic, overturning secondary circulation in the cross ...

Oceanic mass transport by mesoscale eddies
Science, 2014Spinning up ocean circulation discretely Ocean eddies with diameters of tens to hundreds of kilometers are an important component of water transport on a global scale.

Genome Streamlining in a Cosmopolitan Oceanic Bacterium
Science, 2005The SAR11 clade consists of very small, heterotrophic marine α-proteobacteria that are found throughout the oceans, where they account for about 25% of all microbial cells.

Killer whale predation on sea otters linking oceanic and nearshore ecosystems
Science, 1998After nearly a century of recovery from overhunting, sea otter populations are in abrupt decline over large areas of western Alaska. Increased killer whale predation is the likely cause of these declines.

Oceanic Forcing of Sahel Rainfall on Interannual to Interdecadal Time Scales
Science, 2003We present evidence, based on an ensemble of integrations with NSIPP1 (version 1 of the atmospheric general circulation model developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the framework of the Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project) forced only ...

The Influence of Nonlinear Mesoscale Eddies on Near-Surface Oceanic Chlorophyll
Science, 2011Large ocean eddies are the cause of some sea-surface height and chlorophyll anomalies previously ascribed to Rossby waves. Oceanic Rossby waves have been widely invoked as a mechanism for large-scale variability of chlorophyll (CHL) observed from ...

Oceanic Anoxia and the End Permian Mass Extinction
Science, 1996Data on rocks from Spitsbergen and the equatorial sections of Italy and Slovenia indicate that the world's oceans became anoxic at both low and high paleolatitudes in the Late Permian.

Avian Extinction and Mammalian Introductions on Oceanic Islands
Science, 2004The arrival of humans on oceanic islands has precipitated a wave of extinctions among the islands' native birds. Nevertheless, the magnitude of this extinction event varies markedly between avifaunas.

Biogeochemical Controls and Feedbacks on Ocean Primary Production
Science, 1998Changes in oceanic primary production, linked to changes in the network of global biogeochemical cycles, have profoundly influenced the geochemistry of Earth for over 3 billion years.

Ice-Sheet Response to Oceanic Forcing
Science, 2012Warming and Melting Mass loss from the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica account for a large fraction of global sea-level rise. Part of this loss is because of the effects of warmer air temperatures, and another because of the rising ocean ...
