Are Rogue Argo Floats Skewing Ocean Salinity Data Products?

by Lei Zhou 19 November 202418 November 2024

Global ocean salinity products have become increasingly inconsistent since 2015, coinciding with a drift to higher salinity values in a number of Argo sensors.

Phytoplankton Shield Ice Shelves from Summer Heat

by Saima May Sidik 20 September 202420 September 2024

Spring blooms shade Antarctic ice shelves, causing them to melt 7% more slowly than they would if they were surrounded by clear, bloomless waters.

Dual Tsunami Generation from Atmospheric and Oceanic Sources

by Ryan P. Mulligan 24 June 202424 June 2024

The 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption generated waves that propagated across the Pacific Ocean. A new analysis of sea level measurements is used to dissect the difference in wave components from two sources.

Radioactive Isotopes Trace Hidden Arctic Currents

by Nathaniel Scharping 24 June 202424 June 2024

Tracing anthropogenic radionuclides shows researchers how water from the Atlantic flows into and mingles with Arctic currents.

Seals Help Scientists Make Discoveries in Antarctica’s Bellingshausen Sea

by Nathaniel Scharping 4 June 20242 July 2024

By analyzing hydrographic information gathered by seals and an undersea glider, researchers found new meltwater currents, as well as a new seafloor trough.

Nutrients at Depth Can Be Uplifted by the Kuroshio Large Meander

by Takeyoshi Nagai 8 December 20238 December 2023

Aperiodic, southward deflection of the Kuroshio, a.k.a. the Kuroshio large meander, uplifts the nutrients in deep layers to induce offshore phytoplankton bloom.

ENSO Variations Modulate the Kuroshio in the East China Sea 

by Takeyoshi Nagai 7 December 20236 December 2023

Recent warm El Niño Southern Oscillation events strengthened winds over the western Subtropical North Pacific, leading to planetary waves with cyclonic eddies, weakening the Kuroshio in the East China Sea.
