Characteristics of Mesoscale-to-Submesoscale Eddies in the Labrador Sea: Insights from Ship Observations
A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim and EuroGO-SHIP has been published in the Journal of Physical Oceanography focuses on describing mesoscale eddies in the Labrador Sea based on ship observations. The characterization of coherent eddies is often based on gridded satellite altimetry products. In subpolar regions, these products face limitations…

Characterizing the Interannual Variability of North Atlantic Subpolar Overturning
A new study supported by OSNAP, ObsSea4Clim and EuroSea has been recently published. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is important for the global climate due to its role in redistributing heat, freshwater, and dissolved gases over broad spatial scales. Through continuous observations, we now have an 8-year (2014–2022) time…

Northern North Atlantic climate variability controls on ocean carbon sinks in EC-Earth3-CC
A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim and the SDU’s climate cluster focuses on describing the climate variability controls on ocean carbon sinks in the EC-Earth3-CC. The northern North Atlantic (NA) is an important net sink of atmospheric CO2, though atmosphere–ocean CO2 fluxes exhibit substantial variability across different timescales. The underlying drivers of this…

Dispersion monitoring services in the Mediterranean Sea: A multi-model statistical approach
A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim provides a multi-model statistical approach to the dispersion monitoring services in the Mediterranean. Highlights The Mediterranean Sea is increasingly impacted by shipborne pollution, necessitating sophisticated oil spill monitoring systems. This study presents a detailed framework for assessing oil spill dynamics in the Mediterranean using…

Surface and Subsurface Biogeochemical Impacts of the 2019 Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave
A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim provides a multi-model statistical approach to the dispersion monitoring services in the Mediterranean. There is growing concern about the impacts of short-term extreme conditions in the ocean, including marine heatwaves. In the summer of 2019, a marine heatwave occurred in the Northeast Pacific, similar…

Tracking marine heatwaves in the Balearic Sea
A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim and published in Ocean Science focuses on tracking marine heatwaves in the Balearic Sea, with insights on temperature trends and the role of detection methods. Significant efforts have been directed towards developing new ways of defining marine heatwaves, motivated by the need to differentiate…

New study on overflow water transport
A new study supported by OSNAP, ObsSea4Clim and EuroSea has been published in the Journal of Physical Oceanography. A mooring array has been maintained across the west Greenland shelf and slope since 2014 as part of the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP). Here we use the first…

What triggers marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean?
Marine heatwaves – periods of unusually high sea surface temperatures – pose growing risks to both ecosystems and societies. Yet, until now, the atmospheric drivers behind these events in the Mediterranean Sea have remained uncertain. A new study supported by ObsSea4Clim and published in Nature Geoscience sheds light on these…

Is the global ocean mesoscale variability becoming more energetic?
New publication from ObsSea4Clim explores if the global ocean mesoscale variability is becoming more energetic. Why is this important? Ocean mesoscale variability, including meanders and eddies, is a crucial component of the global ocean circulation. The Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE) of these features accounts for about 90% of the ocean’s…
