We used the oceanic circulation fields from ORAS5 (ref.36) over the 1979–2018 period to conduct a full heat budget analysis over the upper 100 m poleward 60° S (Extended Data Fig.2d). The heat budget is described by $$\frac{{\partial T_\mathrm{m}}}{{\partial t}} = - ...
Daytime surface ocean warming has large-scale patterns associated with the sea surface temperature front, leading to an afternoon slackening of the front and impacts on surface wind variability. Meghan F. Cronin ,Dongxiao Zhang &Nathan Anderson ...
A treatment of stationary planetary flow patterns driven by source-sink distributions in a cylindrical tank (Stommel et al., 1958) is extended to predict flow patterns which might be expected under similar circumstances on a rotating sphere. Flow patterns are sketched for various source-sink distrib...
ocean current, stream made up of horizontal and vertical components of thecirculationsystem ofoceanwaters that is produced bygravity,windfriction, and waterdensityvariation in different parts of the ocean. Ocean currents are similar towindsin theatmospherein that they transfer significant amounts ofheat...
A similar analysis of SST fields output by ocean circulation models is of particular interest as an adjunct to the work presented herein. As will become clear, we understand some of the segmentation suggested by ULMO, but not all of it. The method has also identified some anomalous events ...
relationships among them, with the majority of student-developed models in our study categorized as ‘insufficiently’ cohesive (lacking key ideas and the relationships among them), and only a small percentage of the models considered ‘extensively’ cohesive (all key ideas attended to, as well as...

UPDATE: Perhaps in response to criticism here, MIT has changed the press release wording. See below. From MIT, now if they could work the wind patterns in, as NASA suggests, we might have a clearer picture of why the Arctic summer sea ice extent has chan
Thus, understanding Arctic Ocean circulation patterns is fundamental to monitoring and predicting the fate of the Arctic System.;Since 2002, NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has provided continuous measurements of the time-varying gravity field of the Arctic Ocean. The ...
The distribution of these ESUs is closely tied to the major oceanographic circulation systems. T. rufotincta is distributed in the Monsoonal Gyre. T. ehsani is present in the Gulf of Oman and NW India. Tetraclita sp. nov. is associated with the Hydrochemical Front at 10°S latitude. T. ...
