Inferring the zonal distribution of measured changes in the meridional overturning circulation by de Boer, A, Johnson, H

“…Here we show that the most likely interpretation consistent with this approach (i.e., with the dynamic method together with a level-of-no-motion assumption and Ekman dynamics) is that any decrease in strength of the deep western boundary current must have been compensated, not by a basin-wide increase in upper layer southward flow, but by changes in the nonlinear region immediately outside of the Florida Straits.…”

A Lagrangian approach to the Loop Current eddy separation by F. Andrade-Canto, J. Sheinbaum, L. Zavala Sansón

“…The basic idea is very simple: separation should be defined whenever water particles from the cyclonic side of the Loop Current move swiftly from the Yucatan Peninsula to the Florida Straits instead of penetrating into the NE Gulf of Mexico. …”

A link between the ice nucleation activity and the biogeochemistry of seawater by Wolf, Martin J, Goodell, Megan, Dong, Eric, Dove, Lilian A, Zhang, Cuiqi, Franco, Lesly J, Shen, Chuanyang, Rutkowski, Emma G, Narducci, Domenic N, Mullen, Susan, Babbin, Andrew R, Cziczo, Daniel J

“…In contrast, the subsurface water from the less productive Florida Straits produced less effective immersion mode INPs and ineffective depositional mode INPs. …”

First autonomous bio-optical profiling float in the Gulf of Mexico reveals dynamic biogeochemistry in deep waters. by Rebecca E Green, Amy S Bower, Alexis Lugo-Fernández

“…Biogeochemical variability was characterized by distinct depth trends and local "hot spots", including impacts from mesoscale processes associated with each of the water masses sampled, from ambient deep waters over the Florida Plain, into the Loop Current, up the Florida Canyon, and eventually into the Florida Straits. A deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) occurred between 30 and 120 m, with the DCM depth significantly related to the unique density layer ρ = 1023.6 (R2 = 0.62). …”

DICTATORSHIP, MACHISMO, AND THE CUBAN EXILE DRAMA IN A TRAGICOMIC MODE: CRISTINA GARCÍA’S “KING OF CUBA” by Veronica Tatiana POPESCU

“…Written in what I will argue is a tragicomic mode, balancing the tragic and the comic, the horrendous and the laughable, the pitiful and the ridiculous, the novel reflects different perspectives on sensitive topics for Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits, challenging preconceived ideas and inviting the reader to reflect on the relativity of truth. …”

Rocking the boat: maritime humanitarianism and responses to displacement at sea, 1978-2022 by Dobie, IR

“…The first was launched by two ‘Boat for Vietnam’ committees in the South China Sea in the 1970s; the second by a Cuban-American organisation named Hermanos al Rescate in the Florida Straits in the 1990s. The third project was kickstarted by the German aid agency Sea-Watch in the Central Mediterranean in 2015. …”

Cuban Connection: Regional Role for Florida's Manatees by Anmari Alvarez-Alemán, Anmari Alvarez-Alemán, James D. Austin, James D. Austin, Charles A. Jacoby, Charles A. Jacoby, Thomas K. Frazer, Thomas K. Frazer

“…Genetic studies indicate limited interbreeding among recent generations of groups of manatees separated by unsuitable coastal habitat or large expanses of open water, such as the Florida Straits. However, documentation of two, independent immigrations from Florida to Cuba within one generation raises the possibility of important demographic connections, especially if the number of manatees in Cuba is small. …”

A larval dispersion study using lagrangian simulation of particles by Laura Rodríguez Díaz, Laura Rodríguez Díaz

“…The area of study covers The North Atlantic Ocean so the principal aim of the study is analyze if released particles at the Florida Strait could cross the North Atlantic Ocean and reach the European shelf. …”

The Gulf Stream: Along-stream evolution of volume transport and water properties observed by underwater gliders by Heiderich, Joleen

“…Antarctic Intermediate Water, which makes up the deepest waters within the Gulf Stream in the Florida Strait, is eroded through both vertical mixing and lateral stirring as it flows downstream. …”
