However, the influence of track turning on TC-ocean interactions remains little explored. This study systematically investigates sea surface temperature (SST) cooling and TC intensification during TC track-turning stages in global TC-active basins during 1998–2022. Globally, turning TCs induce stronger SST cooling than straight-moving TCs (e.g., −1.53°C vs. −1.08°C for categories 1–2), expand cooling area by 40%–110%, and greatly reduce cooling asymmetry for left-turning (right-turning) TCs in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere. The translation speed of turning TCs is 1.5 m s<sup>−1</sup> slower compared to straight-moving TCs. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the enhanced cooling is attributed to the combined effect of track turning and accompanying slow translation speed. The enhanced cooling effectively suppresses storm intensification of turning TCs. The intensification rate for straight-moving versus turning TCs is 2.98 versus 0.06 m s<sup>−1</sup> per 24 hr for categories 1–2. As turning angle increases, cooling magnitude increases and intensification rate decreases. The probability of rapid intensification for turning TCs is about one-third lower than that for straight-moving TCs. Consequently, TCs with smaller turning angles are more likely to develop into intense TCs. Operational forecast models underforecast turning angles of turning TCs and thus overforecast TC intensity with forecast errors increasing with turning angle. This study demonstrates that TC track-turning stages play a crucial role in modulating TC intensification via an oceanic pathway, highlighting that improving track turning forecast will contribute to enhancing TC intensity forecast accuracy.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wind stress has been shown to affect the source of estuarine inflow by driving alongshelf currents.

Variations in inflow to two NCCS estuarine systems, the Salish Sea and the Columbia River estuary, were studied using particle tracking in a hydrodynamic model. Particles were released in a grid extending two degrees of latitude north and south of each estuary every two weeks of 2017 and tracked for sixty days. Inflow was identified as particles that crossed the estuary mouths. Wind stress was compared with initial horizontal and vertical positions and physical properties of shelf inflow particles. Inflow to the Salish Sea came from Vancouver Island and Washington slope water upwelled through canyons during upwelling-favorable wind stress, and from Washington slope water or Columbia River plume water during downwelling-favorable wind stress. Inflow to the Columbia River estuary came from Washington shelf bottom water during upwelling-favorable wind stress and Oregon shelf surface water during downwelling-favorable wind stress. For both estuaries, upwelling-favorable wind stress direction was significantly correlated with a denser and deeper shelf inflow source north of the estuary mouth.

This process has been linked with increased ocean heat content on the continental shelf, yet the pathways delivering this heat into Greenland's fjords and its interactions with fjord-scale processes modulating glacier ice loss are still unclear. In this study, we use a series of numerical ocean model configurations to examine feedbacks between ocean circulation, subglacial discharge, submarine glacier melt, and ice mélange in Kangerlussuaq Fjord—a major fjord system where Greenland's third-largest glacier terminates. We find that subglacial discharge is a major control on ocean properties, increasing the up-fjord advection of deep warm water more than 10-fold over fjords without discharge and modulating ocean temperature on the continental shelf near the fjord mouth. Further, discharge-driven upwelling increases ice mélange melt 3-fold, revealing that subglacial discharge is an important control on mélange melt, particularly in the summer when submarine glacier melt and subsequent glacier retreat is highest. These results suggest that subglacial plume activity contributes to the strong correlation between mélange thickness and retreat noted in previous studies and may contribute to extensive future retreat at Kangerlussuaq Glacier.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JC021639","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims to assess the effects of varying chlorophyll on the upper-ocean physical properties and their subsequent impact on the atmosphere, using a coupled ocean-atmosphere regional model for the Mediterranean and Black Seas. We performed 11-year (2011–2021) twin-simulation experiments based on different chlorophyll concentrations to estimate the penetration of solar radiation in the ocean.

Results show that radiative heating driven by chlorophyll amplifies the seasonal cycle of temperature in the upper layers, leading to increased surface warming in summer and surface cooling in winter. Also, higher surface chlorophyll contributes to cooling in subsurface layers throughout the year due to its shading effect. The temperature response to chlorophyll variations is controlled by the mixed layer depth and a balance between (a) direct near-surface radiative heating due to the chlorophyll absorption and (b) indirect cooling resulting from vertical turbulent mixing processes with subsurface waters. The atmosphere moderates the seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) response caused by chlorophyll differential heating primarily through changes in latent heat flux. Ultimately, our simulations suggest that increased surface chlorophyll concentrations enhance the Mediterranean overturning circulation, highlighting the necessity of incorporating realistic optical forcing into regional climate modeling studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JC021985","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating the spray layer in the estimation of sea SULR results in a decrease of the overestimation in ERA5 by over 15%. The revised scheme, implemented in CESM2.1.3, led to an average percentage bias improvement around 16%. The percentage bias improvement in localized areas of the southeastern Pacific and the southeastern Indian Oceans reaches up to 40%.

In agreement with theory, we observed these waves when the wind-driven dynamics resulted in double pycnocline stratification. We found that the collocated waves of depression and elevation propagate independently on the upper and lower pycnocline, respectively.

Although oblique wave-wave interactions have been frequently observed in the oceans worldwide and studied extensively through theoretical research and satellite imagery, the fundamental underwater dynamics and spatiotemporal evolution of these interactions remain poorly understood. This study presents a detailed investigation of oblique ISW interactions in the southern Andaman Sea, integrating long-term in situ mooring data with high-resolution 3D numerical simulations. The observations show that when two ISW packets interact obliquely, they merge into a new, chaotic waveform with significant disruption to the horizontal velocity field. The resulting merged ISW is asymmetric, narrow, and steep, exhibiting a particular velocity structure with enhanced current shears. It is worth noting that the amplitude (energy) of the merged ISW is approximately 25% (79%) larger than the combined amplitude of the two incident ISWs, highlighting the strong nonlinearity that has been long proposed by previous theoretical studies. Theoretical analyses suggest that the observed interaction is strong and non-phase-conserving, and the resulting merged ISW is a part of an evolving Mach stem. Additionally, model simulations indicate that ISWs originating from three distinct source regions interact in multiple ways, each producing unique variations in crest patterns and wave intensity, which is far more complex than earlier theoretical predictions. This study underscores the critical role of oblique wave-wave interactions in altering the 3D characteristics of ISWs, including both their underwater dynamics and along-crest variability.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143121246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
