The North Atlantic spring-bloom system - where the changing climate meets the winter dark by Svein eSundby, Kenneth F Drinkwater, Olav S Kjesbu

“…In particular, the northernmost part of the system and the Arctic is exposed to higher increase in temperature than any other ocean region. The most pronounced examples of poleward migration of marine species are found in the North Atlantic, and comprise the recent warming phase after the 1970s. …”

Regional Agroclimate Characteristic and Its Multiple Teleconnections: A Case Study in the Jianghan Plain (JHP) Region by Wenhui Li, Dongguo Shao, Wenquan Gu, Donghao Miao

“…Agricultural production depends on local agroclimatic conditions to a great extent, affected by ENSO and other ocean-atmospheric climate modes. This paper analyzed the spatio-temporal distributions of climate elements in the Jianghan Plain (JHP), Central China, and explored the impacts from teleconnection patterns, aimed at providing references for dealing with climate change and guiding agricultural activities. …”

Attraction, Challenge and Current Status of Marine Current Energy by Hao Chen, Tianhao Tang, Nadia Ait-Ahmed, Mohamed El Hachemi Benbouzid, Mohamed Machmoum, Mohamed El-Hadi Zaim

“…Due to technology limitations and economic considerations, marine current energy appears the most attractive choice compared with the other ocean energy form. Although the existing expertise and technology in offshore wind energy conversion system can be partially transferred to marine current energy conversion system due to the similar structure, there are still many technological challenges to overcome. …”

Pleistocene Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy and Gephyrocapsid Occurrence in Site U1431D, IODP 349, South China Sea by Jose Dominick S. Guballa, Alyssa M. Peleo-Alampay

“…Placolith length and bridge angle changes are comparable with other ocean basins, suggesting that morphologic changes are most likely evolutionary novelties rather than being caused by local climate anomalies.…”

The effects of natural iron fertilisation on deep-sea ecology: the Crozet Plateau, Southern Indian Ocean. by George A Wolff, David S M Billett, Brian J Bett, Jens Holtvoeth, Tania FitzGeorge-Balfour, Elizabeth H Fisher, Ian Cross, Roger Shannon, Ian Salter, Ben Boorman, Nicola J King, Alan Jamieson, Frédéric Chaillan

“…The species composition was also very different, with the +Fe site showing similarities to eutrophic sites in other ocean basins. Moreover, major differences occurred in the taxa at the +Fe and HNLC sites revealing the crucial role that surface oceanic conditions play in changing and structuring deep-sea benthic communities.…”

A hypothesis and a case-study projection of an influence of MJO modulation on boreal-summer tropical cyclogenesis in a warmer climate with a global non-hydrostatic model: a transit... by KAZUYOSHI eOOUCHI, Masaki eSatoh, Masaki eSatoh, Yohei eYamada, Hirofumi eTomita, Hirofumi eTomita, Masato eSugi

“…An implication is that uncertainty in the future tropical cyclogenesis in some part of the Pacific and other ocean basins could be reduced if projection of the MJO and its connection with the underlying SST environment can be better understood and constrained by the improvement of climate models.…”
