Formation of the North Atlantic Warming Hole by reducing anthropogenic sulphate aerosols by Yuki Kusakabe, Toshihiko Takemura

“…This can be due to the spatial concentration of sulphate aerosols in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, resulting larger changes in the heat transport from the south on the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current along with changes in freshwater inflow from the Arctic through the Labrador Sea.…”

Disjunct habitat of cryptic Terebellides (Annelida, Trichobranchidae) species shows a phylogenetic link between polychaetes from the White and the North Seas by A. A. Kudryavtseva, U. S. Novoyatlova, A. Chuyko, D. R. Gaeva, A. V. Vlasov, I. V. Manukhov

“…This unique distribution pattern might be attributed to the succession of polychaetes by new species, facilitated by the Gulf Stream and a climate change role in driving shifts in species' ranges and altering marine ecosystem dynamics.…”

A deformation-based parametrization of ocean mesoscale eddy reynolds stresses by Anstey, J, Zanna, L

“…Ocean mesoscale eddies strongly affect the strength and variability of large-scale ocean jets such as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extension. Their spatial scales are too small to be fully resolved in many current climate models and hence their effects on the large-scale circulation need to be parametrized. …”

Storm track sensitivity to sea surface temperature resolution in a regional atmosphere model by Woollings, T, Hoskins, B, Blackburn, M, Hassell, D, Hodges, K

“…In addition there are several clear mesoscale responses to increased spatial SST resolution, with surface heat fluxes and convective precipitation increasing by 10-20% along the Gulf Stream SST gradient. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.…”

Delayed coastal inundations caused by ocean dynamics post-Hurricane Matthew by Kyungmin Park, Emanuele Di Lorenzo, Yinglong J. Zhang, Harry Wang, Tal Ezer, Fei Ye

“…Numerical experiments reveal that while atmospheric forcing modulates the coastal PHAWLs, ocean dynamics primarily driven by the Gulf Stream control the mean component and duration of the shelf-scale PHAWLs. …”

Structure of phytoplankton (Continuous Plankton Recorder and SeaWiFS) and impact of climate in the Northwest Atlantic Shelves by S. C. Leterme, S. C. Leterme, S. C. Leterme, R. D. Pingree

“…Along this route, the phytoplankton structures were mainly impacted by the changes in surface flow along the Scotian Shelf rather than significantly influenced by the mesoscale features of the Gulf Stream. These changes in water mass circulation caused a drop in temperature and salinity along the Scotian Shelf that induced changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance.…”

Numerical study of the storm-induced circulation on the Scotian Shelf during Hurricane Juan using a nested-grid ocean model by Sheng, J, Zhai, X, Greatbatch, R

“…Over the deep water, off the Scotian Shelf, some of the near-inertial energy input by the storm is advected eastward by the Gulf Stream away from the storm track. The hurricane also generates shelf waves that propagate equatorward with the coastline on their right. …”

The Role of Ocean Currents in the Temperature Selection of Plankton: Insights from an Individual-Based Model. by Ferdi L Hellweger, Erik van Sebille, Benjamin C Calfee, Jeremy W Chandler, Erik R Zinser, Brandon K Swan, Neil D Fredrick

Dispersal routes and habitat utilization of juvenile Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, tracked with mini PSAT and archival tags. by Benjamin Galuardi, Molly Lutcavage

“…Their winter distributions were more spatially disaggregated, ranging south to the South Atlantic Bight, northern Bahamas and Gulf Stream. Vertical habitat patterns showed that juvenile bluefin tuna mainly occupied shallow depths (mean= 5-12 m, sd = 15-23.7 m) and relatively warm water masses in summer (mean= 17.9-20.9°C, sd= 4.2-2.6°C) and had deeper and more variable depth patterns in winter (mean= 41-58 m, sd= 48.9-62.2 m). …”

Successive bifurcations in a shallow-water model applied to the wind-driven ocean circulation

“…A preliminary comparison with observations of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extensions suggests that the intern variability of our simulated mid-latitude ocean is a important factor in the observed interannual variability o these two current systems.…”

Rehabilitated sea turtles tend to resume typical migratory behaviors: satellite tracking juvenile loggerhead, green, and Kemp’s ridley turtles in the northeastern USA by Robinson, NJ, Deguzman, K, Bonacci-Sullivan, L, DiGiovanni, RA, Pinou, T

“…Most individuals followed migratory routes previously reported for each of the 3 species, migrating to either coastal waters off the southeast USA or oceanic waters of the Gulf Stream. Rehabilitated turtles of each species also resumed typical diving patterns. …”

Modeling the Growth Potential of the Kelp Saccharina Latissima in the North Atlantic by Jago Strong-Wright, John R. Taylor, John R. Taylor

“…Using a sensitivity analysis, we find that the position of the southern limit of the growth range is largely modulated by temperature tolerance on the western side of the basin in the Gulf Stream and low nitrate on the eastern side of the basin. …”

Understanding physical drivers of the 2015/16 marine heatwaves in the Northwest Atlantic by E. Perez, S. Ryan, M. Andres, G. Gawarkiewicz, C. C. Ummenhofer, J. Bane, S. Haines

“…We find that a combination of jet stream latitudinal position and ocean advection, mainly due to warm core rings shed by the Gulf Stream, plays a role in MHW development. While both atmospheric and oceanic drivers can lead to MHWs they have different temperature signatures with each affecting the vertical structure differently and horizontal spatial patterns of a MHW. …”

Diagnosing the Observed Seasonal Cycle of Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water Using Potential Vorticity and Its Attendant Theorems by Maze, Guillaume O., Marshall, John C

“…Novel mapping techniques are applied to (i) render the seasonal cycle and annual-mean mixed layer vertical flux of potential vorticity (PV) through outcrops and (ii) visualize the extraction of PV from the mode water layer in winter, over and to the south of the Gulf Stream. Both buoyancy loss and wind forcing contribute to the extraction of PV, but the authors find that the former greatly exceeds the latter. …”
