Deep learning to estimate ocean subsurface salinity structure in the Indian Ocean using satellite observations
Accurately estimating the ocean subsurface salinity structure (OSSS) is crucial for understanding ocean dynamics and predicting climate variations. We present a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to esti...

Satellite observations of coastal upwelling in the northern Arafura Sea
Coastal upwelling is significant for marine ecosystems by lifting nutrient-rich deep waters into the euphotic zone, thereby increasing primary and secondary productivity. The satellite observations show that t...

Decadal sea surface height modes in the low-latitude northwestern Pacific and their contribution to the North Equatorial Current transport variation
Three decadal sea surface height (SSH) modes in the low-latitude northwestern Pacific over 1958 − 2018 were revealed by empirical orthogonal function analysis of decadal SSH anomalies derived from the Ocean Re...
