Advances in L-band microwave satellite radiometry in the past decade, pioneered by ESA's
SMOS and NASA's Aquarius and SMAP missions, have demonstrated an unprecedented …

While the Atlantic Ocean is ventilated by high-latitude deep water formation and exhibits a
pole-to-pole overturning circulation, the Pacific Ocean does not. This asymmetric global …

Global ocean oxygen loss is projected to persist in the future, but Earth system models
(ESMs) have not yet provided a consistent picture of how it will influence the largest oxygen …

Mesoscale turbulence in the ocean strongly affects the circulation, water mass formation,
and transport of tracers. Little is known, however, about how mixing varies on climate …

Warming‐driven expansion of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the equatorial Pacific
would bring very low oxygen waters closer to the ocean surface and possibly impact global …

Stirring in the neutral (ie, isopycnal) direction drives isopycnal mixing, which acts to
homogenise tracers along the neutral plane. Isopycnal mixing does not directly enter the …

Recent satellite observations reveal that the annual cycles of tropical sea surface salinity
(SSS) minimum (Smin) and subtropical SSS maximum (Smax) are phased locked, with the …

Observations of sea surface salinity (SSS) from NASA's Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP)
and ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite missions are used to …

The Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study (SPURS) aims to understand the
patterns and variability of sea surface salinity. In order to capture the wide range of spatial …

Oceanic tracers are transported by oceanic motions of all scales, but only the large-scale
motions are resolved by the present-day Earth system models. In these models, the …
