Rejuvenating the ocean: mean ocean radiocarbon, CO<sub>2</sub> release, and radiocarbon budget closure across the last deglaciation
Published 2023-11-01“…The compiled data and interpolations confirm a stepwise and spatially heterogeneous “rejuvenation” of the ocean, suggesting that carbon was released to the atmosphere through two swings of a “ventilation seesaw” operating between the North Atlantic and both the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. Sensitivity tests using the Bern3D model of intermediate complexity demonstrate that a portion of the reconstructed deglacial B-Atm changes may reflect “phase-attenuation” biases that are unrelated to ocean ventilation and that arise from independent atmospheric radiocarbon dynamics instead. …”

Interannual Variability of Thermal Characteristics in the Indian Ocean under the Conditions of Global Warming
Published 2022-02-01“…The purpose of this work is to clarify the tendencies and regional features of interannual changes in the surface air temperature (Ta), the sea surface temperature (SST), and the water temperature (Tw) in the upper 950-m layer in the Indian Ocean basin including the adjacent area of the Southern Ocean – up to 65°S over the past four decades, which are manifested as a result of planetary changes and a shift in the climate regime at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries. …”

The unprecedented coupled ocean-atmosphere summer heatwave in the New Zealand region 2017/18: drivers, mechanisms and impacts
Published 2019-01-01“…The long-term trend towards positive SAM conditions, a result of stratospheric ozone depletion and greenhouse gas increase, is thought to have contributed through association with more frequent anticyclonic ‘blocking’ conditions in the New Zealand region and a more poleward average latitude for the Southern Ocean storm track. The unprecedented heatwave provides a good analogue for possible mean conditions in the late 21st century. …”

Global terrestrial stilling: does Earth’s greening play a role?
Published 2018-01-01“…Both models, forced with observed sea surface temperature and sea ice and with LAI from satellite observation, captured the observed strengthening of Pacific trade winds and Southern Ocean westerly winds. However, these simulations did not reproduce the weakening of surface winds over land as significantly as it appears in the observations (−0.006 m s ^−1 versus −0.198 m s ^−1 during 1982–2011), indicating that enhanced LAI (greening) is not a dominant driver for terrestrial stilling.…”
