[1] The global thermohaline circulation is an important part of Earth’s climate system. Cold, dense water formed in the Nordic Seas enters the Atlantic Ocean as overflows across the sills of the… (More)
[1] The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) represents the main mechanism for the oceanic northward heat transport in the Atlantic, and fluctuations of this circulation are believed to have… (More)
[1] Low-oxygen and low-pH events are an increasing concern and threat in the Eastern Pacific coastal waters, and can be lethal for benthic and demersal organisms on the continental shelf. The normal… (More)
Deep convection is the major mechanism for replenishing oxygen in the deep interior of the world ocean, and its variability affects the use of atmospheric oxygen to monitor the global carbon cycle.… (More)
[1] The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) processing centers at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) and the University of Texas Center for Space Research (UTCSR) provide time series… (More)
[1] Continental shelves in upwelling regimes are subject to sequences of upwelling and relaxation events, each on timescales of order 1 week typically. These episodes have pronounced impacts on the… (More)
The ability to monitor the heat content of oceans over long distances is becoming increasingly important for understanding the role of oceans in climate change, for determining the variability of the… (More)
[1] Near‐bottom diurnal thermocline shoaling and diurnal baroclinic currents were observed from time series data of water temperature, salinity, pressure, and velocity collected from August 2006 to… (More)
[1] Mooring records collected in the central Labrador Sea are evaluated regarding the variability of the hydrographic properties of newly formed Labrador Sea Water (LSW) between 1994 and 2005. This… (More)
Western and eastern boundary currents are key regions for understanding and monitoring the ocean's influence on and response to climate change processes. Yet the present global ocean observing is… (More)
