Coastal upwelling seen in ocean temperature data [PDF]
, 2012 The phenomenon of wind-driven upwelling occurs when high coastal winds blow over the ocean surface, pushing warm surface waters offshore and allowing cooler, more nutrient rich water from below to rise up to the surface.

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

The common origin and degenerative evolution of flagella in Actinobacteria
mBio, 2023 Species of the phylum Actinobacteria have long time been thought mostly non-motile and non-flagellated, in spite of their extraordinary diversity in morphology, physiology, and ecology.

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Observations of vortex dipoles on the Benguela upwelling front [PDF]
, 1987 Vortex dipoles are unusual phenomena in the mesoscale turbulence of the world ocean which have, for the greater part, gone unnoticed until the advent of satellite remote sensing.

Sublittoral soft bottom communities and diversity of Mejillones Bay in northern Chile (Humboldt Current upwelling system) [PDF]
, 2006 The macrozoobenthos of Mejillones Bay (23°S; Humboldt Current) was quantitatively investigated over a 7-year period from austral summer 1995/1996 to winter 2002.

Intensity dependence of El Niño and La Niña evolution and mixed‐layer heat‐budget processes
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) intensity modulates the spatial, temporal, and dynamical evolution of events strongly. El Niño SST anomalies shift westward with decreasing intensity, while La Niña anomalies remain spatially fixed. Stronger events initiate earlier and persist longer than weak events.

Diagnosing the 11‐year solar cycle's influence on the East Atlantic pattern
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.A previously unidentified solar‐cycle response in the East Atlantic pattern is found in late winter at lag +3 years with larger amplitude than the NAO response. A statistically significant NAO response to the solar cycle is seen in late winter at lag 0 years.
