Satellite Observations of the Sea Surface Salinity Response to Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Decade‐long satellite sea surface slinity (SSS) observations show that rain dilution prevails in wakes of tropical depressions (∼−0.1 pss) and tropical storms (∼−0.05 pss) on the left (right) side of Northern (Southern) Hemisphere storms.

Contribution of satellite sea surface salinity to the estimation of liquid freshwater content in the Beaufort Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science
The hydrography of the Arctic Ocean has experienced profound changes over the last 2 decades. The sea ice extent has declined by more than 10 % per decade, and its liquid freshwater content has increased mainly due to glaciers and sea ice melting ...

The Atlantic Ocean at the last glacial maximum: 1. Objective mapping of the GLAMAP sea-surface conditions [PDF]

, 2003
Recent efforts of the German paleoceanographic community have resulted in a unique data set of reconstructed sea-surface temperature for the Atlantic Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum, plus estimates for the extents of glacial sea ice.

Sea Surface Salinity as a Proxy for Arctic Ocean Freshwater Changes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020
The changing Arctic freshwater content and distribution have a significant implications for ocean circulation, climate, and water and biogeochemical cycles. The paucity of in situ salinity measurements in the Arctic Ocean has limited our ability to study

Statistical Assessment of Sea-Surface Salinity from SMAP: Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and a Promising Red Sea Application

Remote Sensing, 2020
Sea-surface salinity (SSS) is an essential climate variable connected to Earth’s hydrological cycle and a dynamical component of ocean circulation, but its variability is not well-understood. Thanks to Argo floats, and the first decade of salinity remote

Influence of Nonseasonal River Discharge on Sea Surface Salinity and Height

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
River discharge influences ocean dynamics and biogeochemistry. Due to the lack of a systematic, up‐to‐date global measurement network for river discharge, global ocean models typically use seasonal discharge climatology as forcing.

Hydro-thermodynamic dataset of the Amazon River Plume and North Brazil Current retroflection

Data in Brief, 2022
This dataset was generated by the ROMS model, the output files constitute a monthly and weekly mean hydro-thermodynamics climatology of the region of Amazon and Para river mouths and the North Brazil Current retroflection (60.5°-24°W and 5°S-16°N, with 0.

The role of sea surface salinity in ENSO forecasting in the 21st century

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Significant strides have been made in understanding El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dynamics, yet its long-lead prediction remains challenging, especially for the El Niño events after 2000.
