Eddy Induced Cross-Shelf Exchanges in the Black Sea by Anıl Akpınar, Ehsan Sadighrad, Bettina A. Fach, Sinan Arkın

“…The net volume transport across the Black Sea shelf-break reached the maxima in winter, coinciding with the increase in wind stress curl and mean kinetic energy that is a measure of the intensity of the boundary current. Ekman transport directly influences the cross-shelf exchanges in the surface layer. …”

The interior spreading story of Labrador Sea Water by Leah Chomiak, Leah Chomiak, Leah Chomiak, Denis Volkov, Denis Volkov, Claudia Schmid

“…Hydrographic observations showcase the prevalence of both LSW classes within the Atlantic interior, supporting a recirculation feature that branches from the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) at 36°N among other pathways. Spreading characteristics of both LSW classes from the Labrador Sea to the subtropics are reinforced through a spatial pattern analysis of salinity anomalies and geostrophic velocities along the characteristic neutral density planes of each respective LSW class. …”

Intraseasonal variability of the South Vietnam upwelling, South China Sea: influence of atmospheric forcing and ocean intrinsic variability by M. Herrmann, T. To Duy, C. Estournel

Physical forcing mechanisms controlling the variability of chlorophyll-a over the Royal-Charlotte and Abrolhos Banks-Eastern Brazilian Shelf. by Renato David Ghisolfi, Meyre Pereira da Silva, Felipe Thomaz dos Santos, Ricardo Nogueira Servino, Mauro Cirano, Fabiano Lopes Thompson

“…These conditions are 1) N-NE winds that favor an upwelling-type Ekman circulation; 2) coupling between the open ocean and the continental shelf through the western boundary current, which promotes cooler subsurface water to rise onto the shelf break; and 3) positive net heat flux. …”
