Energy Sources Generation and Energy Cascades along the Kuroshio East of Taiwan Island and the East China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
There are multi-spatial-scale ocean dynamic processes in the western boundary current region, so the budget of energy source and sink in the Kuroshio Current area can describe the oceanic energy cycle and transformation more accurately.

Multiple causes of interannual sea surface temperature variability in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2012
The eastern equatorial Atlantic Ocean is subject to interannual fluctuations of sea surface temperatures, with climatic impacts on the surrounding continents.

An Exploration of Wind Stress Calculation Techniques in Hurricane Storm Surge Modeling

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
As hurricanes continue to threaten coastal communities, accurate storm surge forecasting remains a global priority. Achieving a reliable storm surge prediction necessitates accurate hurricane intensity and wind field information.

Observed basin-scale response of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to wind stress forcing [PDF]

, 2017
The response of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) to wind stress forcing is investigated from an observational standpoint, using four time series of overturning transports below and relative to 1000 m, overlapping by 3.6 years ...

Upper Ocean Thermodynamic Response to Coupling Currents to Wind Stress over the Gulf Stream

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
We use high-resolution coupled atmosphere–ocean model simulations over the Gulf Stream extension region during a winter season to examine the upper ocean thermodynamic response to including current feedback to atmospheric wind stress. We demonstrate that

Southern Ocean Wind Stress in CMIP5 Models: Role of Wind Fluctuations [PDF]

Journal of Climate, 2020
AbstractThe Southern Ocean (SO) surface wind stress is a major atmospheric forcing for driving the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the global overturning circulation. Here the effects of wind fluctuations at different time scales on SO wind stress in 18 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) are investigated.

The evolution of a shallow front in the Arctic marginal ice zone

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020
The high degree of heterogeneity in the ice-ocean-atmosphere system in marginal ice zones leads to a complex set of dynamics which control fluxes of heat and buoyancy in the upper ocean. Strong fronts may occur near the ice edge between the warmer waters

Spatial Variability and Trends of Marine Heat Waves in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea over 39 Years

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause devastating impacts on marine life. The frequency of MHWs, gauged with respect to historical temperatures, is expected to rise significantly as the climate continues to warm.
