Meet the new Editor-in-Chief of Geophysical Research Letters and discover his plans to shape the journal’s role in advancing the Earth and space sciences.
Patterns of Surface Warming Matter for Climate Sensitivity
Location, location, location. Surface temperature patterns play a fundamental role in Earth’s energy budget.
Arctic Salinity Pushes the AMOC Swing
A model of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), pioneered by Henry Stommel over 60 years ago, can exhibit realistic cyclic behavior if the role of Arctic salinity is included.
Salinity from Space Improves El Niño Forecasts
Assimilating satellite observations of ocean surface salinity significantly improves coupled model forecasts of El Niño.
Hurricanes and the Sea: It Takes Two to Tango
A new special issue of JGR: Oceans reveals the rich relationship between the ocean and tropical cyclones.
Is Global Warming Suppressing Canonical El Niño?
A study explores the relationship between diverse El Niño events and the background state of the tropical Pacific.
They Got to “Ask-Me-Anything.” So, What Did They Want to Know?
On behalf of JGR: Oceans, I consented to a Reddit Science AMA. What did an anonymous public want to learn about oceanography and climate science? More importantly, what can we learn from them?
