Non-negligible impact of Stokes drift and wave-driven Eulerian currents on simulated surface particle dispersal in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Numerical simulations of marine surface particle dispersal are a crucial tool for addressing many outstanding issues in physical oceanography of societal relevance, such as marine plastic pollution.

An assessment of the surface turbulent heat fluxes from the NCEP reanalysis over western boundary currents [PDF]
With the completion of the NCEP-NCAR and ECMWF reanalyses there are now global representations of air-sea surface heat fluxes with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to be useful in characterizing the air-sea interaction associated with ...

Ocean Surface Wave‐Current Signatures From Satellite Altimeter Measurements [PDF]
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.

Liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy enables direct observation of nucleation and growth processes in solution. This review is dedicated to the remembrance of Helmut Cölfen and highlights recent studies on complex materials—oxides, biominerals, organic–inorganic crystals—which were central to his research activity. It summarizes key milestones,

Depth-Dependent Correction for Wind-Driven Drift Current in Particle Tracking Applications
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
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.

Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.
