As a result, freshwater runoff is changing the continental shelf circulation by increasing the amount of fresher water on the shelf that may then enter the deep ocean. Observational studies show that dense water does traverse the east Greenland shelf near the ocean bottom but it is unclear to what extent the transport of near surface fresh water, as a result of runoff, reaches deeper water and enters the Irminger Basin. Using 4 km resolution nested numerical model simulations with and without freshwater runoff, we show freshwater runoff increases salinity variability with increased baroclinicity. While higher salinity variability and baroclinicity suggest a greater potential for water mass exchange across the East Greenland Current, most freshwater runoff along east Greenland remains on the shelf. From freshwater runoff alone, salinity and salt mass decreases by 0.22% on the continental shelf compared to a 0.01% in the rest of the Nordic Seas. There is a 0.05% reduction in salt mass on the Greenland shelf region that makes up 8% of the simulation domain, suggesting little water exits the shelf along the east coast of Greenland. The largest reduction in salt mass occurs around Iceland, where substantial freshwater runoff exists. A calculation of baroclinic conversion rate suggests likely pathways for runoff to exit the continental shelf and enter deep water in the Denmark Strait and over the Greenland/Scottland ridge east of Iceland. Most of the fresh water, however, released along the east coast of Greenland continues towards Cape Farewell, outside our modeling domain, and into the Labrador Sea.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11120,"journal":{"name":"Deep-sea Research Part Ii-topical Studies in Oceanography","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 105402"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141943391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, more research is needed combining the daily spatial distribution of oceanographic variables of surface and sub-surface data to analyse the habitat characteristics of large pelagic fish, including tuna species. In this study, we used five main daily oceanography parameters: sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface chlorophyll (CHLa), sea surface height (SSH), dissolved oxygen at 100m (DO100), the temperature at 100m (temp100) and the combination of the catch of yellowfin (YFT), albacore (ALT) and bigeye (BET) tuna that use long lines. To analyse the relationship between the environmental database and tuna catch, we utilized Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) from univariate variables until the combination of all variables. The result stated that all the variables influence the existence of all tuna species with P-values &lt;0.001. Temperature is the most critical predictor variable, SST is the most vital predictor for BET and YFT tuna, and temp100 is the most critical for ALT. The second most essential variables were DO100 for BET, Temp 100 for YFT, and SSH for ALT. Moreover, BET and YFT prefer to stay at a lower temp100, and ALT tuna remains at a higher temp100. However, all of them avoid an SST higher than 29 °C. Further assessment of the long-term SST trend specific to tuna species is required to fully account for the effects of global warming on the oceans.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11120,"journal":{"name":"Deep-sea Research Part Ii-topical Studies in Oceanography","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 105400"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141630823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first mode is the prevalent pattern of interannual variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.

The depth of convective mixing is influenced by the interplay between surface cooling (buoyancy loss) and upper-ocean stratification. Mesoscale eddies present during winter can alter this stratification and modulate convective mixing. We investigated the impact of these eddies on convective mixing and ASHSW formation utilizing a combination of observations, data assimilative model results, and 1-D and 3-D model experiments. Our analyses consistently demonstrate that the depth of winter convective mixing is influenced by the stratification imposed by mesoscale features, resulting in distinct mixing characteristics. When subjected to identical buoyancy forcing, convective mixing associated with cyclonic eddies occurs at shallower depths compared to anticyclonic eddies. This difference is particularly pronounced during the peak period of convective mixing (January–February), exceeding 50 m, compared to the early stages (November–December). The combined effect of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies generates spatially inhomogeneous convective mixing, which cannot be solely explained by buoyancy flux. These conclusions are supported by Argo observations and analyses of 1-D and 3-D model experiments. Overall, our study highlights the significant role of mesoscale eddies in modulating convective mixing and ASHSW formation in the northern Arabian Sea.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11120,"journal":{"name":"Deep-sea Research Part Ii-topical Studies in Oceanography","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 105397"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967064524000419/pdfft?md5=5a9f5f6739770956ca2fea6546bb670e&pid=1-s2.0-S0967064524000419-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141424491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These weather systems are integrated entities that can provide a system level perspective. A vessel-based survey repeatedly occupying a 30-km transect 12 times in 36 h provided non-aliased measurements of velocity field that showed how the along-shelf transport varied by more than three-fold in response to a transiting high-pressure weather system following an atmospheric cold front. To further illustrate the impact of different weather systems, we analyzed time series data from moored ADCPs, which showed influence on the velocity field from infrequent summertime cold fronts and remote hurricanes moving through the region, one on the west and the other on the east of the study site. Rotary spectrum analysis showed that the flow field rotated mostly clockwise with a smaller but non-negligible counterclockwise component, consistent with near inertial oscillations mixed with weak tidal currents. A theoretical model is presented by a Laplace transform and a general relationship between the velocity field and forcing functions is obtained, which shows that the contributions to the rotary velocity field from various forcing functions are through mathematical convolutions between the forcing functions and the complex frictional-rotary inertial function (CFRIF). These convolutions include an integrated effect of history of the forcing. CFRIF is effectively a frictional rotary filter that favors inertial oscillations. The wind-stress induced velocity field over a few days is computed and it shows significant variations after the passage of a cold front, with a magnitude consistent with observations. The wind-stress induced velocity is a few times greater than the density driven flow during the ship-based observations.

Until mid-February, local surface fluxes consistent with a convectively suppressed MJO phase drove near-surface ocean evolution. With the advection of a fresh-core eddy to the glider location in late February, ocean dynamics then becomes an additional driver of this evolution by modulating local stratification and generating a barrier layer of ≈12 m thickness for 10 days. One-dimensional modelling experiments based on the ocean and atmospheric conditions experienced during our sampling period show that the ocean subsurface structure within the eddy induce changes in SST of physical significance for ocean-atmosphere interaction. Moreover, results also suggest that the presence of a thick eddy-induced barrier layer during the MJO suppressed phase modulates the magnitude of temperature anomalies forced by surface fluxes during the following enhanced MJO phase.
