While the circulation and energetics of the CTF have been well studied, its water mass transformations remain poorly constrained. Using over 7700 Argo float profiles from 2014 to 2024, we document a prominent westward modification in water mass structure across the Caribbean Sea. From the eastern to western Caribbean, we observe systematic increases in ocean heat content, a deepening of isopycnals, and a freshening and deepening of the subsurface salinity maximum. These changes result in a net mid-depth (∼50–500 m) density reduction of 0.40 ± 0.27 kg m<sup>-3</sup>. We hypothesize that regional variations in mesoscale eddy activity, complex bathymetry, and meridional wind stress curl gradients drive this transformation. The resulting water mass structure has critical implications for regional climate, weather, ecosystems, and sea level rise, as it modifies the density and stratification of source waters entering the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic western boundary current system. Our findings highlight the importance of internal Caribbean processes in shaping upper-ocean heat and salt transport in the Atlantic and underscore the need for sustained in situ observations in the region and targeted modeling analyses of the underlying modification processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 104581"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906989","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}

A streamtube model assuming a steady state roughly reproduced the depth, density, and velocity of cold bottom water, suggesting that it was in a near geostrophic balance. A strong southward current event accompanying the cold bottom water was observed from late December 1999 to early February 2000. An ocean reanalysis dataset showed that the event was associated with the Tsushima Current in the upper layer, suggesting that surface current variations promoted abyssal inter-basin water mass exchanges.

The temporal prediction of sound speed profiles (SSPs) can be transformed into the prediction of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) coefficients. However, dynamic oceanic phenomena can cause significant variations in the background field and EOFs, leading to representational errors. Studies have shown that the sound speed at the depth corresponding to the extreme point of the first EOF contains the most information, which can effectively reflect the SSP structure. To reduce the impact of the background field and EOF mismatch on SSP prediction accuracy, an indirect approach is proposed. Compared to directly predicting the EOF coefficients using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, the indirect approach utilizes historical data to establish the relationship between the depth-fixed sound speed at a specified depth and the EOF coefficients using a back propagation (BP) network. The LSTM then predicts the depth-fixed sound speed for the test set. Finally, the EOF coefficients are obtained from the trained BP network and subsequently used to reconstruct the SSPs. A negative coupling relationship is observed between the first EOF component estimated by the indirect approach and the background field. This relationship causes the mutual cancellation of two error components, ultimately reducing the SSP prediction error. The indirect approach substantially enhances SSP prediction accuracy compared to the direct approach, reducing errors by approximately 0.9 m/s, reaching approximately 0.67 m/s. Moreover, it maintains high prediction accuracy with an error of approximately 0.57 m/s with a representative background field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 104575"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144895904","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}

We showed that, while the Amazon Plume appears to influence lanternfish species richness and size distribution, depth is the primary variable explaining the structuring of lanternfish assemblages.

The ASP is located directly above the underwater Bear Ridge, with its shape corresponding to the topography. The ASP is more frequently observed on the eastern side than on the western side, due to the influence of the iceberg chain (fast ice) east of the ASP and prevailing southeast winds. However, we found that the occurrence frequency of the ASP is highest in the shallowest points of the topography, rather than near the iceberg chain on the easternmost side. This is related to the upwelling of warm deep water driven by topography. The upward mixing of warm water with the surface waters inhibits sea ice formation and growth there, helping to maintain the ASP on the east side of the Bear Ridge top.
