Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 Evidence of long-term variability in the upper ocean has emerged for two decades. Most of the issues discussed raise a lot of questions. What is the driver of the decadal oscillation of rainfall in Europe that has been observed since the end of the 20th ...

Multiple Fquilibria for Cross-Gyre Flow between Subpolar and Subtropical Gyres [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1993 Abstract A simple Sverdrup-type two-layer model that allows the outcropping of isopycnals is forced by wind stress, is completed with a frictional western boundary layer, and is investigated along the zero wind-stress curl line separating the subpolar gyre from the subtropical gyre.

Temporal Stability of Genetic Structure in a Mesopelagic Copepod. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although stochasticity in oceanographic conditions is known to be an important driver of temporal genetic change in many marine species, little is known about whether genetically distinct plankton populations can persist in open ocean habitats.

Projected Changes in Photosynthetic Picoplankton in a Warmer Subtropical Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 The oligotrophic subtropical gyres are the largest biome on Earth, where picoplankton constitute the dominant autotrophs. The trend for autotrophic picoplankton to increase with sea temperature has led to predictions that picophytoplankton abundance will

Eddy Cancellation of the Ekman Cell in Subtropical Gyres
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2016 AbstractThe presence of large-scale Ekman pumping associated with the climatological wind stress curl is the textbook explanation for low biological activity in the subtropical gyres. Using an idealized, eddy-resolving model, it is shown that Eulerian-mean Ekman pumping may be opposed by an eddy-driven circulation, analogous to the way in which the ...

Proteorhodopsin variability and distribution in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2018 Abstract Proteorhodopsin is a light-activated retinal-containing proton pump found in many marine bacteria. These photoproteins are globally distributed in the ocean’s photic zone and are capable of generating a proton motive force across the cell membrane.

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2020 Plastic pollution is a great threat to the marine environment. Owing to its low density, a substantial fraction of plastic debris is transported across ocean surfaces by currents.

Chlorophyll Variability in the Oligotrophic Gyres: Mechanisms, Seasonality and Trends
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 A 16-year (1998-2013) analysis of trends and seasonal patterns was conducted for the five subtropical ocean gyres using satellite data: chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) retrievals from ocean color, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea-level anomaly (SLA).
