Abstract The Gulf of Mexico ecosystem is a hotspot for biological diversity and supports a
number of industries, from tourism to fishery production to oil and gas exploration, that serve …

State-of-the-art Earth system models typically employ grid spacings of O (100 km), which is
too coarse to explicitly resolve main drivers of the flow of energy and matter across the Earth …

2015: Improved surface velocity and trajectory estimates in the Gulf of Mexico from blended …

Large freshwater pulses to coastal ecosystems change local hydrologic regimes and alter
biogeochemical processes. The Mississippi Bight coastal ecosystem, located in the northern …

Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet releases fresh water from ice melt, tundra snow melt, and
solid ice at an increasing rate during recent decades resulting in an increasing amount of …

Coastal ocean ecosystems are major contributors to the global biogeochemical cycles and
biological productivity. Physical factors induced by the turbulent flow play a crucial role in …

The accumulation patterns of floating marine litter (FML) in the Black Sea and the stranding
locations on coasts are studied by performing dedicated Lagrangian simulations using freely …

Although plankton thin layers have been described and modeled in a variety of
environments, the physical structure surrounding the layer, associated biological rates, and …

Upper-ocean turbulent flows at horizontal length scales smaller than the deformation radius
depart from geostrophic equilibrium and develop important vertical velocities, which are key …
