Wind Stress is not the Ceiling of Momentum Flux to the Ocean

by Lei Zhou 15 February 202116 September 2022

The ocean is mainly driven by wind stress, but simultaneous observations show that the gain of momentum flux by the ocean can be larger than the wind stress due to the influence of ocean waves.

Tracking How Plastic Moves in the Coastal Ocean

Kate Wheeling, freelance science writer by Kate Wheeling 21 December 20203 November 2021

Researchers used a wave tank to study the movement of plastic particles experimentally and to understand the role of particle density in drift behavior.

Acidifying Oceans Could Get Help from Kelp

Elizabeth Thompson by Elizabeth Thompson 30 November 202014 December 2023

Forests of fast-growing kelp influence the chemistry of the water in which they live. A new study evaluates their potential to ameliorate ocean acidification in sensitive coastal ecosystems.

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.
