Exploring a Warm Water Inflow Below an Antarctic Ice Shelf

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 5 December 20225 December 2022

Researchers guided an autonomous underwater submarine to capture the first direct observations of a warm water current flowing in below the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

Measuring the Ins and Outflows of Estuaries

by Saima May Sidik 8 November 20228 November 2022

Scientists modeled monitoring schemes in three different estuaries to determine instrument layouts that could effectively and efficiently measure exchanges of salt water and freshwater.

When Winds and Currents Align, Ocean Mixing Goes Deep

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 31 October 202217 November 2022

Slantwise convection in the Irminger Sea off Greenland appears to mix ocean water to deeper depths than previously thought, representing an important contribution to Atlantic overturning.

A Close Look at Melting Below Antarctica’s Largest Ice Shelf

Rachel Fritts, Science Writer by Rachel Fritts 28 October 202228 October 2022

Radar data reveal where, when, and how fast the base of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf has been losing mass in recent years.

How do Bob and Tom Eddies Meet, Pair-Spin, and Twist?

by Takeyoshi Nagai 14 October 202212 October 2022

Autonomous float data reveal that mergers of two eddies, known to have spiraling subducting water surrounding each other, happens more frequently than previously thought.

Two Kinds of Warm Core Rings Emanate From the Gulf Stream

by Takeyoshi Nagai 12 October 202211 October 2022

A new study reveals that long-lived warm core rings found in the “Ring Corridor”, a narrow path north of the Gulf Stream, have two different formation mechanisms.

Ocean Waves Cause Drag Coefficient Asymmetry Within Typhoons

by Lei Zhou 5 October 20224 October 2022

Observations show that, due to ocean waves, the drag coefficients for surface wind stresses have spatial asymmetry within typhoons, which should be considered in weather and climate simulations.

Melting Below the Pine Island Ice Shelf Minds the Gap

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 3 October 20223 October 2022

New research shows that increased calving from West Antarctica’s Pine Island Ice Shelf will likely drive increased circulation of warm water—and melting—below the ice.

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 20 September 202220 September 2022

A specially designed instrument enabled researchers in the Arctic to measure turbulence within 1 meter of the interface where ice meets ocean.
