Most of the Arctic’s Microscopic Algae Are Chilling Under Ice

Rachel Fritts, Science Writer by Rachel Fritts 21 September 20208 February 2023

New research reveals that tiny single-celled organisms in the Arctic Ocean are growing more numerous as climate change thins the ice.

Improving Proxy Representations of Ocean Properties

Aaron Sidder, freelance science writer by Aaron Sidder 18 September 20204 October 2021

Many oceanic properties are not directly observed but are instead estimated using proxy measurements. A new method uses physics-based correlations to reduce uncertainty in this relationship.

A Direct Bridge Between Tropical Cyclones and Ocean Eddies

by Lei Zhou 11 August 202016 December 2021

Tropical cyclones can inject potential vorticity directly into ocean eddies—an alternative way for tropical cyclones to leave fingerprints on the ocean besides the traditional near-inertial wave.

Different El Niño, Different Paths of North Equatorial Current

by Lei Zhou 6 April 202016 December 2021

Different types of El Niño have different impacts on the North Equatorial Current Bifurcation and can be extended to ocean circulations in the Pacific and the global climate system.

Different Eddy Transport for “Lazy” and “Athletic” Observers

by Lei Zhou 2 January 202012 January 2022

Two specifications of fluid dynamics—taking measurements at a fixed point and following a fluid parcel—are compared for quantifying eddy transport in the ocean.

How Are Microplastics Transported to Polar Regions?

by Terri Cook 26 September 201916 September 2022

New modeling indicates that global subsurface ocean currents distribute submerged microplastics along very different routes than those traveled by floating plastic debris.
