In this Review, we examine climate change impacts on Antarctic krill and the potential implications for the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Since the 1970s, there have been apparent reductions in adult population density and the occurrence of very dense swarms in the northern Southwest Atlantic. These ...
Although previous studies generally attributed the reversal of SWS trend to large-scale ocean–atmosphere circulation (LOAC) signals, here we show that the interdecadal decline in local aerosols measured by aerosol optical depth (AOD) also contributes to the reversal of SWS over Northeast China, ...
This stress exchanges momentum between the ocean and atmosphere and me-chanically drives the large-scale circulation. Although it is the vertical gradient of the horizontal velocity at the ocean surface that determines the stress (), this quantity OCEAN CIRCULATION, DYNAMICS OFCHRISTOPHER A. ...

The present study investigates these questions using a wide range of ocean–atmospheric observations, both in situ and from space. We further take advantage of comprehensive oceanic and atmospheric general circulation models that show remarkable skills in simulating the extreme event of 2017. Experiments...
The origin of the sedimentation rate variations in the Osh loess is also linked to the NHIS-modulated changes of the atmospheric circulation patterns. Either the strengthened westerlies or the increased surface roughness from higher vegetation cover in loess-deposition areas have significantly accelerated...
The combination of carbon measurements with ocean circulation transport estimates from a box inverse analysis reveals that deepwater transports associated with Warm Deep Water ( WDW ) and Weddell Sea Deep Water dominate the gyre's carbon budget, while a dual-cell vertical overturning circulation leads...
The Arctic Ocean features extreme seasonal differences in daylight, temperature, ice cover, and mixed layer depth. However, the diversity and ecology of microbes across these contrasting environmental conditions remain enigmatic. Here, using autonomous s
circulation patterns. In general, the region lies at the interface between the temperate climate zone to the North and the subtropical zone to the South. In the North, the massif of the Greater Caucasus shelters the Kura Basin against direct impacts of cold air masses coming from arctic ...
