Shifting Winds Drive Ocean Temps Along South African Coast
A new study could help manage sardine populations in coastal waters.
Mud on the Move
Powerful submarine flows known as turbidity currents are starting to give up their secrets.
Untangling a Web of Interactions Where Surf Meets Coastal Ocean
In 2017, an ocean research team launched an unprecedented effort to understand what drives ocean currents in the overlap regions between surf zones and continental shelves.
Explaining Ocean Acidification Patterns During Ancient Warming
Asymmetrical changes in ocean circulation and the marine carbon cycle could account for different degrees of ocean acidification between the Pacific and Atlantic.
Numerical Models Overestimate Near-Inertial Wind Power Input
The first study to estimate the global wind power on internal gravity waves based solely on observations offers a new benchmark for comparing future calculations.
In a Spin: New Insights into the Beaufort Gyre
A new special collection in JGR: Oceans presents results from studies of the Beaufort Gyre, an oceanic circulation system in the Arctic that has far-reaching influence on the global climate.
North Atlantic Circulation Patterns Reveal Seas of Change
New evidence suggests the eastern Atlantic may be the site of major overturning.
Wrinkles and Bumps in the Gulf Stream
Observations of tiny vortices in the ocean interior provide hints of a dynamic richness of the deep ocean that we are yet to fully appreciate.
Route for Upwelled Kuroshio Waters into East China Sea Shelf
A simple algorithm obtains short-term variations in upwelling, which show that the subsurface Kuroshio waters can upwell directly into the East China Sea shelf under the advection of the Kuroshio.
