Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Accurate and timely reconstruction of sea surface wind fields from available scatterometer‐derived observations is essential for rapid‐response forecasting and operational oceanography. In this study, we explore a novel physics‐guided generative learning network to reconstruct sea surface wind vector fields directly from sparse scatterometer ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Submesoscale (1–10 km) vertical velocities at fronts enhance the exchange of particulate organic carbon (POC) and heat between the surface ocean and depth. While POC and temperature can be readily assessed in situ, direct quantification of flux remains uncertain due to the observational challenges of measuring submesoscale vertical velocities ...

Ageostrophic Velocities of Curved Ocean Fronts
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Ageostrophic velocities at ocean fronts play a key role in ventilating the upper ocean. The overturning circulation driven by cross‐front ageostrophic flow is widely recognized as the major mechanism of vertical transport, but the role of along‐front ageostrophic velocities remains underrepresented in existing theory.
