Surface-circulation change in the southwest Pacific Ocean across the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum: inferences from dinoflagellate cysts and biomarker paleothermometry [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2020 Global climate cooled from the early Eocene hothouse (∼52–50 Ma) to the latest Eocene (∼34 Ma). At the same time, the tectonic evolution of the Southern Ocean was characterized by the opening and deepening of circum-Antarctic gateways ...

Ocean Surface Wave‐Current Signatures From Satellite Altimeter Measurements [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractOcean currents can strongly impact the propagation of swell systems. Satellite altimetry routinely provides measurements of ocean surface significant wave heights (Hs). A self‐consistent space‐scale decomposition is applied to Hs measurements obtained from different altimeters.

Plant dispersal across the tropical Atlantic by wind and sea currents [PDF]
, 2004 This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages ranging across the tropical Atlantic with data on the direction, strength, and speed of sea currents and wind jets across that ocean. Mainly for pragmatic reasons (data

Depth-Dependent Correction for Wind-Driven Drift Current in Particle Tracking Applications
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Predicting the trajectories of buoyant objects drifting at the ocean surface is important for a variety of different applications. To minimize errors in predicted trajectories, the dominant transport mechanisms have to be considered.

Computing Ocean Surface Currents From GOCI Ocean Color Satellite Imagery
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2017 One of the significant challenges in physical oceanography is getting an adequate space/time description of the ocean surface currents. One possible solution is the maximum cross-correlation (MCC) method that we apply to hourly ocean color images from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) over five years.
