EN4: Quality controlled ocean temperature and salinity profiles and monthly objective analyses with uncertainty estimates

Simon Good, Matthew Martin, Nick A Rayner · 12 Nov 2013

We present version 4 of the Met Office Hadley Centre “EN” series of data sets of global quality controlled ocean temperature and salinity profiles and monthly objective analyses, which covers the period 1900 to present. We briefly describe the EN4 data sources, processing, quality control procedures, and the method of generating the analyses. In particular,…

A Global Perspective on Microplastics

Robert C. Hale, Meredith Evans Seeley, Mark J. La Guardia et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Abstract Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled global demand. Most plastics are initially used and discarded on land. Nonetheless, the amount of microplastics in some oceanic compartments is predicted to double by 2030. To solve this…

Vincent S. Saba, Stephen M. Griffies, W. Anderson et al. · 13 Dec 2015

Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) fifth assessment of projected global and regional ocean temperature change is based on global climate models that have coarse (∼100 km) ocean and atmosphere resolutions. In the Northwest Atlantic, the ensemble of global climate models has a warm bias in sea surface temperature due to a misrepresentation…

Regional variations in the influence of mesoscale eddies on near‐surface chlorophyll

Peter Gaube, Dennis J. McGillicuddy, Dudley B. Chelton et al. · 4 Nov 2014

Abstract Eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles through a variety of mechanisms, including the excitation of vertical velocities and the horizontal advection of nutrients and ecosystems, both around the eddy periphery by rotational currents and by the trapping of fluid and subsequent transport by the eddy. In this study, we present an analysis of the influence…
