Underwater Gliders Find Swirling Vortices of Warm, Salty Water
Vortices formed off the west coast of Sardinia could play a large role in Mediterranean water circulation and mixing and are significant for marine ecosystems and regional climate.
Large Variability Measured in Kuroshio Current East of Taiwan
Ship surveys show that the "Gulf Stream" of the Pacific is not a stable boundary current.
Circulation Models Cannot Simulate Organized Tropical Convection
Challenges in predicting and simulating the Madden-Julian Oscillation indicate a lack of understanding of the atmospheric circulation pattern's fundamental physics.
Deep Atlantic Conduit Boasts Longest Billow Train
Some 4000 meters below sea level, swirling patterns of more than 250 consecutive breaking waves up to 100 meters tall stretch through the Atlantic Ocean's Romanche Trench.
Observing and Modeling the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
2014 U.S. AMOC Science Team Meeting;
Seattle, Washington, 9–11 September 2014
Fluctuations in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Variations in large-scale convection in the Atlantic Ocean are likely driven by wind.
Variability in Atlantic Circulation Partly Driven by Wind
Models and observations indicate that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation exhibits surprising short-term variability, driven largely by wind.
Circulation a Key Factor in Mediterranean Algal Growth
Scientists use satellite and robotic field data to study the environmental conditions driving phytoplankton blooms in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea.
