As the storm passed directly over the Bailong marine meteorological buoy (5.843°N, 104.208°E), high-frequency oceanic and atmospheric observations captured its immediate impact, providing valuable insights into air-sea interactions during extreme weather events. Analysis of buoy data and FIO-COM simulations reveals that Pabuk triggered a rapid sea surface temperature (SST) decline, initially driven by wind-driven vertical mixing and heat flux loss, followed by prolonged cooling sustained by cold advection. The latter was primarily controlled by changes in the Vietnam Coastal Current (VCC), whose intensity and structure were significantly altered by the storm. Additionally, near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) enhanced subsurface mixing contributing to the persistence of cooling, whereas winter monsoon winds further influenced post-storm SST evolution. The cooling response exhibited strong spatial variability: in deep offshore regions, vertical mixing dominated, entraining colder subsurface waters into the mixed layer; along the Vietnam coastal shelf, cold advection played a leading role; in shallow waters, heat flux loss initiated cooling with residual cold advection and NIO-driven subsurface mixing extending SST anomalies. These findings underscore the heightened sensitivity of shelf seas to tropical storms, where coastal currents, wind-driven mixing, and bathymetric constraints critically influence SST evolution. A more accurate representation of these localized processes in oceanographic and climate models is essential for improving storm impact assessments and upper-ocean thermal predictions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JC022109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273511","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}

The excess near-surface ocean TKE dissipation rate is thought to be driven primarily by wave breaking, which limits wave growth and transfers energy from the surface wave field to the wave-affected layer of the ocean. Here, the statistical properties of breaking wave dynamics in a coastal area are extracted from visible imagery and used to estimate TKE dissipation rates due to breaking waves.

The global mean rate is well studied, closely linked to global energy and water cycles, while regional patterns are influenced by a complex mix of internal climate dynamics and external factors like greenhouse gases and aerosols. Yet, a synthesis of these regional patterns using a comprehensive diagnostic approach has been lacking. Our research addresses this gap by integrating oceanic and atmospheric observations with large ensembles of state-of-the-art global climate models. This approach sheds new light upon the mechanisms behind basin-scale sea level patterns worldwide. A key finding is the dominant influence of wind forcing, particularly Ekman and Sverdrup dynamics, in shaping sea level changes from the tropics to higher latitudes. We find that the pattern of sea level rise since 1993 is primarily driven by wind-induced changes in ocean circulation, which can affect sea surface height through ocean mass and heat distribution. Interestingly, these wind-driven changes are not just products of internal climate variability; most of the observed patterns are recovered by global climate model projections driven by historical anthropogenic forcings, and single-forcing experiments provide further insight into which forcings are responsible for various features in the satellite altimetry record. Understanding the drivers of regional sea level rise, including differentiating anthropogenic signals from natural variability, is essential for effectively adapting to climate change impacts on global infrastructure and society.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244716","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}

A one-dimensional, advective-diffusive model is developed to aid in the interpretation of the sparse observations and make estimates of net ecosystem calcification (NEC) rates. The Kanton lagoon experiences extreme salinity and alkalinity variations driven by ENSO variations in precipitation.

Early in the 2015–2016 El Niño, the back of the lagoon is only ∼1 psu saltier than the ocean because precipitation had begun to exceed evaporation. The model suggests that during El Niño events, when precipitation substantially exceeds evaporation, the back of the lagoon is less salty than the ocean (30–32 psu). Alkalinity variations in the lagoon are primarily due to dilution or concentration driven by the ENSO variations in precipitation and NEC that causes an alkalinity deficit of ∼250 μmol/kg in the back of the lagoon.

This paper studies how salt intrusion is influenced by three geometric changes that are prominent in estuaries worldwide in isolation and in combination: (a) channel depth, as channels are often dredged to improve port navigability, (b) intertidal wetland width, representing intertidal reclamation or restoration, and (c) lowering of the intertidal area due to SLR. A 3D schematized process-based model was employed (Delft3D-FM), reflecting conditions in the Rotterdam Waterway, the Netherlands. Salt intrusion lengths increased with channel depth, and the stratification generally increased with channel depth and intertidal area. However, results show that the latter dependency diminishes with larger intertidal areas, a novel finding. The salt intrusion length responds ambiguously to increasing intertidal wetland area, attributed to the balance between tidal flow and estuarine circulation flow: increasing intertidal areas, or lowering their elevation due to SLR, increases the tidal flow velocity amplitude as the tidal prism increases. This in turn suppresses the estuarine circulation flow. Consequently, the salt intrusion length decreases in strongly stratified estuaries while the salt intrusion length increases in well-mixed estuaries. In between these extremes, processes balance out and intertidal area do not influence the salt intrusion length.

Using high-resolution Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite data, in situ observations, and idealized numerical simulations, this study reveals two distinct dynamical regimes in this region. South of Iceland, the mesoscale eddy field is energetic. In contrast, north of Iceland, the strong shallow stratification inhibits baroclinic instability and eddy generation, resulting in a low-energy “eddy desert”—a phenomenon observed synoptically for the first time at SWOT's unprecedented resolution. This new understanding of Iceland's dynamical regimes highlights the role of stratification in mesoscale variability. Analyzing Biogeochemical-Argo float data, it also suggests an impact of mesoscale regimes on the local biogeochemical cycles, with implications for primary production and carbon cycling as stratification patterns shift with climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":54340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206903","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}
