Major restructuring of marine plankton assemblages under global warming

This study projects a global increase in plankton species richness by the end of the century, driven by ocean warming and a poleward shift of species distributions. However, the responses differ between phytoplankton and zooplankton, with zooplankton richness declining in the tropics and increasing strongly in temperate and subpolar latitudes, leading to significant species turnover and potential disruption of ecosystem services.

Ocean circulation causes the largest freshening event for 120 years in eastern subpolar North Atlantic

The eastern subpolar North Atlantic experienced a record-breaking freshening event between 2012 and 2016, the largest in 120 years of measurements. This extreme freshening was primarily caused by unusual winter wind patterns that altered ocean circulation, diverting Arctic freshwater into the eastern basins.

Argo Data 1999–2019: Two Million Temperature-Salinity Profiles and Subsurface Velocity Observations From a Global Array of Profiling Floats

The Argo program has collected over two million temperature and salinity profiles from the upper 2 km of the ocean using an array of profiling floats. While challenges remain regarding sensor drift, quality control, and expanding the array, Argo has produced a valuable, high-quality dataset crucial for ocean and climate research and forecasting.

Twenty-first century ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and upper-ocean nutrient and primary production decline from CMIP6 model projections

CMIP6 models project a worsening of ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and nutrient decline in the 21st century under various emission scenarios, with magnitudes exceeding those projected by CMIP5. The impact on primary production is variable, with declines in some regions and increases in others, accompanied by high inter-model uncertainty.

FES2014 global ocean tide atlas: design and performance

The FES2014 global ocean tide atlas significantly improves tidal predictions, especially in shelf and coastal areas, compared to previous versions. This was achieved through advancements in unstructured grid flexible resolution, hydrodynamic tidal solutions, and ensemble data assimilation techniques.
