CIOPS-E uses a 1/36° horizontal grid (~ 2 km) to simulate sea ice and ocean conditions over the northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL). Forcing at lateral open boundaries is taken from ECCC’s data assimilative Regional Ice-Ocean Prediction System (RIOPS). A spectral nudging method is applied offshore to keep mesoscale features consistent with RIOPS. Over the continental shelf and GSL, the CIOPS-E solution is free to evolve according to the model dynamics. Overall, CIOPS-E significantly improves the representation of tidal and sub-tidal water levels compared to ECCC’s lower resolution systems: RIOPS (~ 6 km) and the Regional Marine Prediction System – GSL (RMPS-GSL, 5 km). Improvements in the GSL are due to the higher resolution and a better representation of bathymetry, boundary forcing and dynamics in the upper St. Lawrence Estuary. Sea surface temperatures show persistent summertime cold bias, larger in CIOPS-E than in RIOPS, as the latter is constrained by observations. The seasonal cycle of sea ice extent and volume, unconstrained in CIOPS-E, compares well with observational estimates, RIOPS and RMPS-GSL.

Cyclonic winds at a spatial resolution of 0.25° and intervals of 6 h are obtained by fusion remotely sensed winds from the HY-2 scatterometers and radiometers from SMAP and AMSR2.

The significant wave height (SWH) is simulated by WW3 using the optimized parameterization in the several input/dissipation source terms, i.e., ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST6. It is found that the accuracy of simulated SWH using optimized parameterization in switch ST2, ST3 and ST4 is worse than that using optimized parameterization in switch ST6.

These two wind forcings are implemented and evaluated individually to assess their respective influences on the surface ocean conditions such as temperature, salinity, currents, heat fluxes, fresh water flux and diffusivity over the AS. The QuikSCAT winds are seen stronger (up to 2 m/s) over the AS and the wind stress curl is higher (up to 1.5 × 10<sup>− 7</sup> N/m<sup>2</sup>) in the equatorial region as compared to the COADS winds. Both the simulations have replicated the overall pattern of the surface ocean conditions very well. The stronger QuikSCAT winds simulation has shown higher surface salinity (~ 2 psu) and freshwater fluxes compared to the weaker COADS winds simulation. Again, the strong winds from QuikSCAT have also increased the surface current (up to 0.2 m/s) and horizontal diffusivity in the southern and western boundary of the AS. The implementation of wind forcing provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the regional ocean system and its response to atmospheric conditions.

We conducted floating microplastic surveys in an intense cyclonic mesoscale eddy with a large sea surface height depression (approximately 0.8 m), a so-called cold-core ring, in the Kuroshio Extension recirculation gyre (KERG) southeast of Japan. The concentration of microplastics within the eddy (460 × 10<sup>4</sup> pieces/km<sup>2</sup>) was one or two orders of magnitude higher than in the adjacent oceanic waters, likely due to the acquisition of microplastics from the microplastic-rich Kuroshio Extension (KE) when detaching, as well as the horizontal entrainment of particles by the eddy.

The impact of wave-induced processes on thermosteric sea-level changes is investigated using coupled ocean-wave simulations. These simulations include the effects of Stokes-Coriolis forcing, sea-state dependent surface stress and energy fluxes, and wave-induced mixing. The experiments use a high-resolution configuration of the Geesthacht COAstal Model SysTem (GCOAST), covering the Northeast Atlantic, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The GCOAST system uses the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) ocean model to account for wave-ocean interactions and ocean circulation. It is fully coupled with the WAM spectral wind wave model. The aim is to accurately quantify the sea state contribution to thermosteric sea level variability and trends over a 26-year period (1992–2017). The ability of wave-ocean coupled simulations to reveal the contribution of sea state to sea level variability and surge is demonstrated. It is clear that wave-induced processes (WIPs) play a significant role in sea surface dynamics, ocean mixing (mixed layer thickness) and modulation of air-sea fluxes (e.g. heat flux) in both winter (10–20%) and summer (10%), which in turn affect thermosteric sea level variability. The North Atlantic (in summer) and the Norwegian Trench (in winter) show significant contributions (40%) to the thermosteric sea-level variability due to wave-induced processes. The influence of WIPs on thermosteric sea level trends in the North Atlantic is up to the order of 1 mm yr-1 in both winter and summer, in the open ocean and at the shelf break. Smaller contributions are observed over the shelf areas of the North Sea.

The concurrent occurrence of a powerful positive IOD and El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean is highly probable to result in a substantial elevation in Chl-a content in the southern region of Java.
