Thin Skin Helps Regulate Ocean Carbon Uptake

Aaron Sidder, freelance science writer by Aaron Sidder 28 July 2023

Cooler and saltier than even the water just below it, the ocean skin plays a critical role in ocean-atmosphere gas exchange.

Bio-Argo Floats Reveal Phytoplankton Increase at Ocean Fronts

by Takeyoshi Nagai 20 March 202320 March 2023

Bio-Argo floats and satellite altimeter data reveal that upwelling caused by confluent flow on the warm side of ocean fronts increases phytoplankton carbon and chlorophyll.

Gulf Stream Closes the Valve of the Labrador Current

by Takeyoshi Nagai 17 March 202316 March 2023

Virtual particles released in the Labrador Current revealed that the westward penetration of the current into the shelf seas is inhibited by warm core rings emanating from the Gulf Stream.

Weakened Kuroshio Slows Down the Ryukyu Current

by Takeyoshi Nagai 2 March 202323 February 2023

A combination of the weakened Kuroshio in the Tokara Strait and an increase in anticyclonic eddies led to the slowdown of the Ryukyu Current from 1993 to 2018.
