The interannual variability of the Indian Ocean subtropical mode water based on the Argo data

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Gaining insight into the interannual variability of the Indian Ocean Subtropical Mode Water (IOSTMW) is essential for understanding ocean dynamics in the Southwest Indian Ocean, since it carries the signal of winter mixing and transports it into the ...

Recent acceleration in global ocean heat accumulation by mode and intermediate waters

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The ocean absorbs >90% of anthropogenic heat in the Earth system, moderating global atmospheric warming. However, it remains unclear how this heat uptake is distributed by basin and across water masses.

Subtropical mode water in the Northeast Pacific Basin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1998
A new type of mode water in the upper thermocline of the eastern subtropical North Pacific is identified and examined using data from World Ocean Circulation Experiment high‐resolution repeat expendable bathythermograph (XBT) section PX37 and archives of historical XBT data. This water mass (labeled Eastern Subtropical Mode Water) is characterized by a

Water vapour multi-vortex structure under the interactions of typhoons and mid-low latitude systems during extreme precipitation in North China

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2023
With diverse atmospheric circulation and complex mechanisms, typhoon remote rainstorms (TRR) are closely related to a variety of mid-low latitude systems.

A relay of anticyclonic eddies transferring North Pacific subtropical mode water into the South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
North Pacific subtropical mode waters (STMWs), which are subducted with air-sea interaction signals and characterized by low potential vorticity (PV), play an important role in climate change issues. STMW (PV<2×10−10 m−1· s−1) can be advected westward

Holocene evolution of the North Atlantic subsurface transport [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2017
Previous studies suggested that short-term freshening events in the subpolar gyre can be counterbalanced by advection of saline waters from the subtropical gyre and thus stabilize the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). However, little is

Subsurface dispersion path and travel time of radiocesium from Fukushima by Mode Water

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident on March 11, 2011 resulted in the release of immense amounts of radioactive materials into the ocean. However, the dispersion of radioactive materials in the subsurface has not yet been clarified

Opposing trends of cloud coverage over land and ocean under global warming [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
Clouds play a key role in Earth's energy budget and water cycle. Their response to global warming contributes the largest uncertainty to climate prediction.

Subtropical mode waters in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1999
This systematic study of the subtropical mode waters in the South Atlantic is based on hydrological data (the basin‐wide South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment, Oceanus, and Ajax sections, and the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) sections in the Brazil‐Malvinas Confluence region), the WOCE expendable bathythermograph data set, and the ...

Lagged response of Tropical Atlantic Ocean to cold and fresh water pulse from Antarctic sea ice melting

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The formation of dense water masses at polar regions has been largely influenced by climate changes arising from global warming. In this context, based on ensemble simulations with a coupled model we evaluate the meridional shift of a climate signal (i.e.
