Microstructure observations in the Pacific cold tongue reveal that turbulence often penetrates into the thermocline, producing hundreds of watts per square meter of downward …
The equatorial Pacific cold tongue is a site of large heat absorption by the ocean. This heat uptake is enhanced by a daily cycle of shear turbulence beneath the mixed layer—“deep …

Given the increasing attention in forecasting weather and climate on the subseasonal time scale in recent years, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced …
Abstract Observations in the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrents (EUC) show that the nighttime deep-cycle turbulence (DCT) in the marginal-instability (MI) layer of the EUC exhibits …
In the tropical Pacific, weak ventilation and intense microbial respiration at depth give rise to a low dissolved oxygen (O2) environment that is thought to be ventilated primarily by the …
Deficiencies in upper ocean vertical mixing parameterizations contribute to tropical upper ocean biases in global coupled general circulation models, affecting their simulated ocean …
We use a version of the NOAA Climate Forecast System with enhanced (up to 1‐m) ocean model vertical resolution to investigate the mean diurnal cycles of upper ocean temperature …

The impacts of rainy days (> 24 mm) on the physics of the surface atmosphere and upper ocean are characterized in the central Pacific Ocean (140°–170° W) on the equator, where …
Computational models of the oceanic and atmospheric circulation are critical tools for un-30 derstanding and projecting changes in the Earth's climate. These models have errors that …
