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…

D6.2 Stakeholder Reference Group setup is published!
We have just published a deliverable outlining the setup of our Stakeholder Reference Group (D6.2)! The full document is available here on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/15304431 This deliverable outlines the establishment of the Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) for the ObsSea4Clim project. The SRG provides a structured and inclusive platform for engaging diverse…

D6.1 Clustering Event Nr. 1 is published!
The Clustering Event Nr.1 took place on 11-12 March 2025 at the Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences (IOPAN), gathering project participants from both ObsSea4Clim and BioEcoOcean, and featuring an introduction from the third sister project, BioGeoSea. We published the insights and lessons learned from the event in this…

Constraining CMIP6 simulations for the Atlantic Water in the Arctic
New study published with support from ObsSea4Clim! The study aims to improve the representation of the Atlantic Water layer in the Arctic Ocean within #CMIP6 climate model simulations. This is crucial because Atlantic Water inflow significantly influences Arctic climate change, yet current models show large biases and uncertainty. By selecting…
