The hourly current and wind data from the TAO/TRITON, RAMA and PIRATA buoy arrays are downloaded from https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/drupal/disdel/. The JRA-55 Reanalysis dataset is downloaded from https://jra.kishou.go.jp/JRA-55/index_en.html. The IAP monthly ocean temperature analysis...
“A break in sedimentation indicates vigorous deep-sea currents, while continuous sediment accumulation indicates calmer conditions,” Professor Müller said. “Combining these data with reconstructions of ocean basins has allowed geologists to track where and when these sediment breaks occurred.” Past G...
the globe, at five elevations above the ground (or ocean) surface: 10m, 50m, 100m, 150m, and 200m. These different elevations account for the local "roughness" of the terrain below, and its influence on wind strength and turbulence. (More detailed methodology information can be foundhere....

This is one of the missing links for predicting how future climate change may affect heat and carbon capture by the oceans: more vigorous ocean currents make it easier for carbon and heat to be ‘mixed in’. “So far, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of anthropogenic CO2and over 90 perce...
The ocean is taking up additional heat but how this affects ocean circulation and heat transport is unclear. Here, using coupled model intercomparison project phase 5/6 (CMIP5/6) climate projections, we show a future decrease in poleward ocean heat trans
Ocean was established, with measurements of surface air temperature, surface wind, sea surface temperature, upper ocean thermal structure, ocean currents and sea level being taken on a regular basis, and with trial deployments of instruments to measure surface pressure, rainfall and salinity under ...
