Barrier layer in the North Pacific subtropical gyre [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2004
By analyzing all the available temperature/salinity profiles obtained by Argo floats as of August 2003, we evaluate the barrier layers (BLs) in the North Pacific subtropical gyre. 20.5% of the profiles at 10°–25°N have BLs with thickness greater than 10 m.

Meridional transport of salt in the global ocean from an eddy-resolving model [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2014
The meridional transport of salt is computed in a global eddy-resolving numerical model (1/12° resolution) in order to improve our understanding of the ocean salinity budget. A methodology is proposed that allows a global analysis of the salinity balance

Resonantly Forced Baroclinic Waves in the Oceans: A New Approach to Climate Variability

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
How variations in Earth’s orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary are probably one of the greatest mysteries of modern climate science.

Dissolved organic carbon dynamics in a changing ocean: an ESM2M-COBALTv2 coupled model analysis [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) constitutes a major component of the marine carbon cycle, yet its present contributions to carbon export, and the response to future climate change remain poorly constrained.

Phosphorus dynamics in the North Pacific subtropical gyre [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2000
Phosphorus (P) dynamics were studied during several research cruises to Stn ALOHA and in the 'Climax region' of the North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG) in 1996-1997. The aim of this study was to: (1) investigate the coupled uptake and regeneration of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and the production of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP), (2) quantify the ...

Eastern boundary drainage of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre

Ocean Dynamics, 2012
The eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre (NASG) is an upwelling favorable region characterized by a mean southward flow. The Canary Upwelling Current (CUC) feeds from the interior ocean and flows south along the continental slope off NW Africa, effectively providing the eastern boundary condition for the NASG.

Subtropical Gyre Nutrient Cycling in the Upper Ocean: Insights From a Nutrient‐Ratio Budget Method

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
We use a nutrient‐ratio budget method to investigate the relative importance of different nutrient source and sink terms at time‐series Station ALOHA and Bermuda Atlantic Time‐series Study (BATS) in the North Pacific and North Atlantic subtropical gyres,

Relative Abundance of Floating Plastic Debris and Neuston in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Despite an increasing research conducted on ocean plastic pollution over the last decade, there are still large knowledge gaps in our current understanding of how floating plastic debris accumulating in subtropical oceanic gyres may harm the surface ...

Sensitivity of an idealized subtropical gyre to the eastern boundary conditions

Scientia Marina, 2001
The flow pattern of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre (NASG) is simulated using a highly idealised one-layer quasi-geostrophic wind-driven model. The novel feature of the model is the specification of the eastern boundary conditions. This is an upwelling favourable region with a quasi-permanent southward flowing coastal jet, which is fed by the ...

What goes in must come out: the oceanic outgassing of anthropogenic carbon

Environmental Research Letters
About 25% of the emitted anthropogenic CO _2 is absorbed by the ocean and transported to the interior through key gateways, such as the Southern Ocean or the North Atlantic.
