Predictability of the upper ocean heat content in a Community Earth System Model ensemble prediction system
Ting Liu, Wenxiu Zhong
2024, 43(1): 1-10. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2239-x
Abstract:
Upper ocean heat content (OHC) has been widely recognized as a crucial precursor to high-impact climate variability, especially for that being indispensable to the long-term memory of the ocean. Assessing the predictability of OHC using state-of-the-...
What induced the trend shift of mixed-layer depths in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current region in the mid-1980s?
Shan Liu, Jingzhi Su, Huijun Wang, Cuijuan Sui
2024, 43(1): 11-21. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2268-5
Abstract:
An obvious trend shift in the annual mean and winter mixed layer depth (MLD) in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) region was detected during the 1960–2021 period. Shallowing trends stopped in mid-1980s, followed by a period of weak trends. The ...
The variation in basal channels and basal melt rates of Pine Island Ice Shelf
Mingliang Liu, Zemin Wang, Baojun Zhang, Xiangyu Song, Jiachun An
2024, 43(1): 22-34. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2271-x
Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a significant acceleration in the thinning, calving and retreat of the Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS). The basal channels, results of enhanced basal melting, have the potential to significantly impact the stability of th...
The connection of phytoplankton biomass in the Marguerite Bay polynya of the western Antarctic Peninsula to the Southern Annular Mode
Ning Jiang, Zhaoru Zhang, Ruifeng Zhang, Chuning Wang, Meng Zhou
2024, 43(1): 35-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2201-y
Abstract:
Antarctic coastal polynyas are biological hotspots in the Southern Ocean that support the abundance of high-trophic-level predators and are important for carbon cycling in the high-latitude oceans. In this study, we examined the interannual variation...
Seasonal variation of mesoscale eddy intensity in the global ocean
Yongcan Zu, Yue Fang, Shuangwen Sun, Libao Gao, Yang Yang, Guijun Guo
2024, 43(1): 48-58. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2278-3
Abstract:
Mesoscale eddies are a prominent oceanic phenomenon that plays an important role in oceanic mass transport and energy conversion. Characterizing by rotational speed, the eddy intensity is one of the most fundamental properties of an eddy. However, th...
A case study of continental shelf waves in the northwestern South China Sea induced by winter storms in 2021
Junyi Li, Chen Zhou, Min Li, Quanan Zheng, Mingming Li, Lingling Xie
2024, 43(1): 59-69. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2150-5
Abstract:
This study aims to investigate characteristics of continental shelf wave (CSW) on the northwestern continental shelf of the South China Sea (SCS) induced by winter storms in 2021. Mooring and cruise observations, tidal gauge data at stations Hong Kon...
Observation of Arctic surface currents using data from a surface drifting buoy
Hongxia Chen, Lina Lin, Long Fan, Wangxiao Yang, Yinke Dou, Bingrui Li, Yan He, Bin Kong, Guangyu Zuo, Na Liu
2024, 43(1): 70-79. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2202-x
Abstract:
During the 10th Chinese Arctic scientific expedition carried out in the summer of 2019, the surface current in the high-latitude areas of the Arctic Ocean was observed using a self-developed surface drifting buoy, which was initially deployed in the ...
Simulated Indonesian Throughflow in Makassar Strait across the SODA3 products
Tengfei Xu, Zexun Wei, Haifeng Zhao, Sheng Guan, Shujiang Li, Guanlin Wang, Fei Teng, Yongchui Zhang, Jing Wang
2024, 43(1): 80-98. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2186-6
Abstract:
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), which connects the tropical Pacific and Indian oceans, plays important roles in the inter-ocean water exchange and regional or even global climate variability. The Makassar Strait is the main inflow passage of the IT...
Research on the generation method of seawater sound velocity model based on Perlin noise
Zhimiao Chang, Fuxing Han, Zhangqing Sun, Zhenghui Gao, Xueqiu Wang
2024, 43(1): 99-111. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2230-6
Abstract:
In the processing of conventional marine seismic data, seawater is often assumed to have a constant velocity model. However, due to static pressure, temperature difference and other factors, random disturbances may often frequently in seawater bodies...

A VGGNet-based correction for satellite altimetry-derived gravity anomalies to improve the accuracy of bathymetry to depths of 6 500 m
Xiaolun Chen, Xiaowen Luo, Ziyin Wu, Xiaoming Qin, Jihong Shang, Huajun Xu, Bin Li, Mingwei Wang, Hongyang Wan
2024, 43(1): 112-122. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2203-9
Abstract:
Understanding the topographic patterns of the seafloor is a very important part of understanding our planet. Although the science involved in bathymetric surveying has advanced much over the decades, less than 20% of the seafloor has been precisely m...
A positive trend in the stability of global offshore wind energy
Chongwei Zheng
2024, 43(1): 123-134. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2187-5
Abstract:
The recognition on the trend of wind energy stability is still extremely rare, although it is closely related to acquisition efficiency, grid connection, equipment lifetime, and costs of wind energy utilization. Using the 40-year (1979–2018) ERA-Inte...
