Abstract Tides play a key role in regulating shelf‐sea environments, influencing sediment dynamics, habitat distribution, long‐term carbon burial, coastal hazards, and water quality, with important socio‐economic consequences. Yet the long‐term evolution of shelf sea tides in response to sea‐level change remains poorly understood. We have developed the

Tidal Modulation of Waves Around the Aleutian Islands
Abstract Forming a critical part of the North Pacific Great Circle Route, the narrow passes of the Aleutian Islands are considered among the United States' most treacherous waters for maritime navigation. This study investigates the tidal modulation of surface gravity waves throughout the archipelago using a high‐resolution, unstructured‐grid, coupled ...

Abstract This study presents a new physical‐biogeochemical simulation of the Pacific Ocean that resolves mesoscale dynamics and explicitly includes tidal forcing. The primary objective is to develop and document a modeling framework that serves both as a detailed record of model configuration and forcing preparation, and as a reference for future ...

Abstract This is Part II of a two‐part theoretical study on the impact of intertidal areas on tides in tidally dominated estuaries. Part I developed an analytical model that resolves tidal motions in the channel and intertidal regions which are dynamically coupled through the water exchange between both regions.

Abstract Nonlinear interactions between internal tides (ITs) and near‐inertial waves (NIWs) generate the “third waves” at frequencies corresponding to the sum of IT and NIW frequencies. The third waves drive oceanic energy cascade, yet under what conditions these waves are generated remain poorly quantified.

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides unprecedented high‐resolution simultaneous observations of both sea surface height anomalies and sea surface roughness. Specifically, it enables more precise analysis of strong internal waves. Off the Amazon Shelf, in the Indonesian Seas, and near the Mascarene Ridge, internal wave

On the β$$ \beta $$‐effect in the baroclinic instability of a continuously stratified atmosphere
We solve the quasi‐geostrophic equation numerically to analyze baroclinic instability in a continuously stratified atmosphere. On the β$$ \beta $$‐plane, deviations from classical models alter instability growth rates and modal structures, leading to the emergence of unstable lobes and a stable region at very large wavelengths.

Three Drivers of 21st‐Century Changes in Ocean Tides
Abstract Numerical model simulations are conducted to study the response of barotropic ocean tides to 21st‐century climate change, as manifested by sea level rise, increasing ocean stratification, and expanding Antarctic ice shelf cavities. Emphasis is placed on surface elevations, with projections of M2 ${\mathrm{M}}_{2}$, S2 ${\mathrm{S}}_{2}$, K1 ${\

Subsurface Marine Heatwaves Intensity Projected to Decrease in the Caribbean Sea Under RCP8.5
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs)—extreme ocean temperature anomalies—are increasing in frequency and intensity globally, yet their vertical structure and drivers remain underexplored in the Caribbean Sea (CS), a region of critical ecological and socioeconomic importance.

Climate Change Likely to Intensify Storm‐Driven Compound Flooding in an Exemplar UK Estuary
Abstract Flood protection authorities are not prepared for compound flood risk in estuaries—now and in the face of climate change. Climate projections are rarely downscaled appropriately to assess future changes in storm surge and concurrent river discharge extremes, and their interactions to exacerbate flooding.
