Linking the atmospheric Pacific-South American mode with oceanic variability and predictability
While Pacific climate variability is largely understood based on El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Pacific focused Pacific decadal oscillation and the basin-wide interdecadal Pacific oscillation, the role of the South Pacific, including ...

Oceanographic boundaries constrain microbial diversity gradients in the South Pacific Ocean
Significance High-resolution data covering marine microbes and microeukaryotes are sparse, even though these organisms control global biogeochemical cycles. Here we present a dataset describing the microbial pro- and eukaryotic diversity along a 7,000-km

The South Pacific Meridional Mode and Its Role in Tropical Pacific Climate Variability
The Pacific meridional mode, a thermodynamically coupled mode of variability, links extratropical Pacific oceanic and atmospheric anomalies to the tropical Pacific and may give rise to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. While mechanistic studies
