wind‐driven currentsABSTRACT It is shown that Lakes Entrance, a township located at the northern end of Ninety Mile Beach in southeastern Australia, is situated in a region that may experience noticeable changes in longshore wind, wave and ocean currents compared to present day climate variability...
Ocean deoxygenation is becoming a major stressor for marine ecosystems due to anthropogenic climate change. Two major pathways through which climate change affects ocean oxygen are changes in wind fields and changes in air-sea heat and freshwater fluxes. Here, we use a global ocean biogeochemistry m...
The wind in your dream could be symbolic of your own spirit or the life force. The wind may represent changes in your life; the greater the force of the wind, the grater the change. A very gusty wind could represent stress and turmoil but also the energy that you need or have to mak...
Tiny particles of plastic have been found in high concentrations in snow samples from the Swiss Alps, parts of Germany and the Arctic, even places as remote as the island of Svalbard and in snow on drifting ice floes. These microplastics may havedrifted there on wind cur...

Internal waves contain a large amount of energy in the ocean and are an important source of turbulent mixing. Ocean mixing is relevant for climate because it drives vertical transport of water, heat, carbon and other tracers. Understanding the life cycle of internal waves, from generation to dis...
These short waves have a small vertical distribution of wave motion such that they effectively experience surface currents (Zippel & Thomson, 2017). 2.5 COAMPS-TC Surface Winds Surface wind estimates are from real-time operational forecasts of Hurricane Idalia made by the U.S. Naval Research ...
