Seasonal and Annual Changes in Pitch in Blue Whale Calls

by Terri Cook 7 June 201929 November 2022

Six years of acoustic recordings detect seasonal shifts in blue whale vocalizations that correlate with the presence of icebergs, a primary source of ambient ocean noise in the southern Indian Ocean.

Route for Upwelled Kuroshio Waters into East China Sea Shelf

by Lei Zhou 18 February 201911 January 2022

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.
