A quantitative understanding of the integrated ocean heat content depends on our ability to
determine how heat is distributed in the ocean and identify the associated coherent patterns …

Ecoregionalization of the ocean is a necessary step for spatial management of marine
resources. Previous ecoregionalization efforts were based either on the distribution of …

By establishing a linear regression relationship between the projection coefficient of the
empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of the sound speed profile (SSP) and remote sensing …

The forthcoming SWOT altimetric missions aim to resolve the mesoscale with an
unprecedented spatial resolution and swath. However, high-frequency processes, such as …

The first 2000 m of the global thermohaline structure of the ocean are statistically
decomposed into vertical thermohaline modes, using a multivariate functional principal …

We present an assessment of the water mass dynamics in a reanalysis of the Mediterranean
Sea with a focus on the Algero‐Provencal basin. We use a θ‐S‐based algorithm to compute …

Given that spatiotemporal measurement of the subsurface profile over a wide range are
difficult to obtain, surface observations from satellites are often used to estimate the sound …

Introduction The trend of sound speed profile (SSP) inversion is towards wide-area sound
speed estimation. However, the traditional inversion method of dividing the latitude and …

The remote sensing-based inversion of sound speed profile (SSP) enables the acquisition of
high-spatial-resolution SSP without in situ measurements. The spatial division of the …

Complex perturbations in the profile and the sparsity of samples often limit the validity of
rapid environmental assessment (REA) in the South China Sea (SCS). In this paper, the …
