The ocean plays a dominant role in the global water cycle. It is the center of action for global
evaporation and precipitation and supplies the moisture that falls as continental …

Over 450 pre-Columbian (pre-AD 1492) geometric ditched enclosures (“geoglyphs”)
occupy∼ 13,000 km2 of Acre state, Brazil, representing a key discovery of Amazonian …

Moisture originating from the subtropical North Atlantic feeds precipitation throughout the
Western Hemisphere. This ocean-to-land moisture transport leaves its imprint on sea …

The Atlantic Ocean is known to have higher sea surface salinity than the Pacific Ocean at all
latitudes. This is thought to be associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning …

The role of the oceanic water cycle in the record-breaking 2015 warm-season precipitation
in the US is analyzed. The extreme precipitation started in the Southern US in the spring and …

Subtropical underwater (STUW) and its year-to-year variability in annual subduction rate are
investigated using recently available Argo data in the North Atlantic. For the period of …

Subfootprint variability (SFV), variability within the footprint of a satellite measurement, is a
source of error associated with the validation process, especially for a satellite measurement …

The sea surface salinity (SSS) maximum of the South Indian Ocean (the SISSS‐max) is a
high‐salinity feature centered at 30° S, 90° E, near the center of the South Indian subtropical …

During the period 2011–2017 the South Pacific subtropical sea surface salinity maximum
(SSS‐max) exhibited significant variability. It nearly doubled in area, increased in salinity …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatio-temporal variations in the atmospheric
moisture budget (precipitation–evaporation, PE) using ERA-Interim reanalysis data sets with …
