On wind-driven energetics of subtropical gyres [PDF]
, 2020 <p>The flow of energy in the wind-driven circulation is examined in a&#160;<br>combined theoretical and numerical study. Based on a multiple scales&#160;<br>analysis of the ocean interior, we find the mesoscale field is strongly&#160;<br>affected by the ventilated ...

The Contemporary Challenge of the Sea: Science, Society, and Sustainability [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 The ocean covers nearly 71% of the surface of our planet, but it is still largely unexplored despite its fundamental roles in global food production and climate regulation.

High concentrations of floating neustonic life in the plastic-rich North Pacific Garbage Patch.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Floating life (obligate neuston) is a core component of the ocean surface food web. However, only 1 region of high neustonic abundance is known so far, the Sargasso Sea in the Subtropical North Atlantic gyre, where floating life provides critical habitat

Nature Communications, 2023 The Cretaceous ‘greenhouse’ period (~145 to ~66 million years ago, Ma) in Earth’s history is relatively well documented by multiple paleoproxy records, which indicate that the meridional sea surface temperature (SST) gradient increased (non-monotonically)

Contribution of Wind Speed and Sea-Air Humidity Difference to the Latent Heat Flux-SST Relationship
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2022 This study investigates contributions of wind speed and sea-air humidity difference (dq) terms to the seasonal change and time scale dependence in the relationship between surface latent heat flux (LHF) and sea surface temperature (SST) using daily data.

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 ...

Variability and Trends of the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021 AbstractPrevious studies have suggested that the South Atlantic subtropical gyre has been expanding, shifting poleward, and intensifying. We investigate these possibilities from an observational standpoint by analyzing the seasonal and interannual variability, and the long‐term trends, in sea surface height, steric height, and ocean mass.

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.

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.
