North Atlantic–Pacific salinity contrast enhanced by wind and ocean warming
High salinities in the Atlantic and low salinities in the Pacific are critical ocean features, impacting ocean circulations and climate. Here, using...

Projected amplification of summer marine heatwaves in a warming Northeast Pacific Ocean
Marine heatwaves are expected to become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting in a warming world. However, it remains unclear whether feedback...
-
Biotransport of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Heavy Metals by Pacific Salmon in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean
Marine animals making long-range migrations biotransport some amounts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals (HMs) that can remain...
-
Multi-omics determination of metabolome diversity in natural coral populations in the Pacific Ocean
Coral reefs are considered one of the most emblematic ecosystems in our oceans, but their existence is increasingly threatened by climate change. In...

The Long-term Diffusion of Dumped Wastewater from Japan in the Pacific Ocean
The wastewater dumped into the Pacific Ocean by Japan, which contains hard-removal tritium, in addition to other radioactive isotopes including...

Assessing the global ocean science community: understanding international collaboration, concerns and the current state of ocean basin research
Web of Science data covering 2000–2020 was used to analyse trends in ocean research, specific to the five ocean basins (Arctic, Atlantic, Indian,...

Investigating ocean deoxygenation and the oxygen minimum zone in the Central Indo Pacific region based on the hindcast datasets
Deoxygenation is increasingly recognized as a significant environmental threat to the ocean following sea temperature rises due to global warming and...

Mercury contamination in the tropical seabird community from Clipperton Island, eastern Pacific Ocean
Mercury (Hg) pollution is a global problem affecting remote areas of the open ocean, but the bioaccumulation of this neurotoxic pollutant in tropical...

Northeast Pacific marine heatwaves linked to Kuroshio Extension variability
Marine heatwave events in the Northeast Pacific Ocean from 2013-2015 and 2019-2020 have had significant impacts on ocean life and livelihoods in the...
-
The mean state of the tropical Pacific Ocean differed between the Medieval Warm Period and the Industrial Era
Changes in the El Niño Southern Oscillation over the last few decades have been linked to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; however, the sign,...
-
Observations and modeling of symmetric instability in the ocean interior in the Northwestern Equatorial Pacific
Symmetric instability is a mechanism that can transfer geostrophic kinetic energy to overturning and dissipation. To date, symmetric instability has...
-
Intensification of Pacific tropical instability waves over the recent three decades
Tropical instability waves (TIWs) arise from shear instabilities of equatorial Pacific Ocean currents and are important for the tropical climate and...
-
Precession cycles of the El Niño/Southern oscillation-like system controlled by Pacific upper-ocean stratification
Modern observations have presented linkages between subsurface waters of the western Pacific warm pool and both El Niño/Southern Oscillation-related...

Plastic ingestion and trophic transfer in an endangered top predator, the longfin mako shark (Isurus paucus), from the tropical western Pacific Ocean
Plastic pollution has become a global environmental problem of major concern. However, the plastic contamination in the marine top predators,...
-
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation modulated marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific during past decades
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation has been suggested to play an important role in driving marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific during recent...
-
The decrease in ocean heat transport in response to global warming
The ocean is taking up additional heat but how this affects ocean circulation and heat transport is unclear. Here, using coupled model...

Maladaptive diffusion? The spread of hard protection to adapt to coastal erosion and flooding along island coasts in the Pacific and Indian Ocean
Coastal erosion occurs along many of the world’s shorelines, but is of particular concern to small islands. In response, island shorelines are often...
-
Southern California winter precipitation variability reflected in 100-year ocean salinity record
Rainfall in southern California is highly variable, with some fluctuations explainable by climate patterns. Resulting runoff and heightened...

Northern Hemisphere winter atmospheric teleconnections are intensified by extratropical ocean-atmosphere coupling
The role of extratropical atmosphere-ocean coupling in generating and maintaining large-scale atmospheric low-frequency variability remains an open...
