Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Two decades of high-resolution satellite observations and climate modeling studies have
indicated strong ocean–atmosphere coupled feedback mediated by ocean mesoscale …

Coastal zones have large social, economic and environmental values. They are more
densely populated than the hinterland and concentrate large economic assets, critical …

Abstract The West African coastal population and ecosystems are increasingly exposed to a
multitude of hazards. These are likely to be exacerbated by global climate change and direct …

Symmetric instability (SI) extracts kinetic energy from fronts in the surface mixed layer (SML),
potentially affecting the SML structure and dynamics. Here, a global submesoscale …

The air–sea interface is a key gateway in the Earth system. It is where the atmosphere sets
the ocean in motion, climate/weather-relevant air–sea processes occur, and pollutants (ie …

Ocean current is one of the major drivers of water mass, energy, and biogeochemical cycles
in the global ocean–atmosphere boundary layer and also a key variable in the formation of …

Arctic Ocean properties and processes are highly relevant to the regional and global
coupled climate system, yet still scarcely observed, especially in winter. Team OCEAN …

This review paper reports on the state-of-the-art concerning observations of surface winds,
waves, and currents from space and their use for scientific research and subsequent …

Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum,
energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice …
