Deep Argo status: Transition from regional to global, data access, and a new application to measure ocean bathymetry

salle Boussinesq

- Nathalie Zilberman, Associate Researcher à Scripps Institution of Oceanography -   Résumé : Deep Argo, the deep-ocean component of the OneArgo program, aims to deliver sustained, full-depth measurements of key ocean variables, such as ocean temperature, salinity, and currents critical to the Global Ocean Observing System. The capacity of Deep Argo floats to sample […]

Impacts of freshwater flux anomaly on the development of El Niño/Southern Oscillation

Jules Verne

- Takahito Kataoka, JAMSTEC -   Résumé : During El Niño, positive sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the central-eastern tropical Pacific are accompanied by positive precipitation anomalies. In this study, we investigate the roles of freshwater flux anomaly in the development of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) using a state-of-the-art climate model. In addition to […]

Submesoscale pathways to turbulence in the surface boundary layer: Energetics, effects on tracers, and air-sea coupling

Salle Coriolis

- Jacob Wenegrat, University of Maryland -     Résumé : Our understanding of the pathways between submesoscale processes and turbulent mixing is rapidly evolving. In this talk I will review recent work connecting the dynamics of submesoscale fronts to turbulent mixing in the surface boundary layer through vertical geostrophic shear production and frontogenesis. These […]
