Respiration Rates in the Global Mesopelagic Ocean
Abstract Respiration in the mesopelagic layer of the oceans (200–1,000 dbar) is a key factor controlling the biological carbon pump, as it attenuates the downward flux of organic carbon to the ocean interior. Using a global data set of dissolved oxygen and transient tracer gas measurements, we report spatially resolved oxygen utilization rates (OUR ...

El Niño Events Enhance Melting of Sea Ice in the West of Greenland
Abstract Using reanalysis data sets and numerical simulations, this study investigates the linkage between El Niño events and spring Arctic sea ice melt rate (AMR) in the west of Greenland. The results indicate that the accelerated spring AMR often corresponds to the previous winter's El Niño–like sea surface temperature anomalies.

Abstract Monthly mean reanalysis from assimilating global ocean circulation models spanning 27 years is used to study subsurface secondary acoustic ducts, which provide waveguides for the transmission of mid‐frequency sound. A systematic diagnosis of secondary ducts from monthly mean temperature and salinity fields characterizes their distribution and ...

Abstract To satisfy the needs of the Arctic sea ice seasonal prediction in summer, we developed the Arctic Seasonal Prediction System (ArcSPS). This system integrates an Arctic sea ice–ocean–atmosphere coupled model with an ensemble‐based Kalman Filter data assimilation model.

Late Holocene climate and environmental changes in Kamchatka inferred from subfossil chironomid record. [PDF]
This study presents a reconstruction of the Late Holocene climate in Kamchatka based on chironomid remains from a 332 cm long composite sediment core recovered from Dvuyurtochnoe Lake (Two-Yurts Lake, TYL) in central Kamchatka.

Paternity of Western Gray Whales Feeding Off Sakhalin Island, Russia
ABSTRACT While understanding mating systems can provide critical insight into a population's long‐term persistence and resilience, such information remains limited for most baleen whales. However, extensive research on the western gray whales that feed off Sakhalin Island, Russia, led to the collection of biopsy samples from 75% of the 207 whales photo‐
