Combined oceanic and atmospheric forcing of the 2013/14 marine heatwave in the northeast Pacific by Huan-Huan Chen, Yuntao Wang, Peng Xiu, Yi Yu, Wentao Ma, Fei Chai

“…The Blob was absent when the model was forced by climatology-air-temperature. Both the SST and integrated ocean heat content (OHC, 0–150 m) decreased, and the mixed layer depth (MLD) was deeper than that in the control run forced by real atmospheric conditions. …”

Cold- versus warm-season-forced variability of the Kuroshio and North Pacific subtropical mode water by Yuma Kawakami, Hideyuki Nakano, L. Shogo Urakawa, Takahiro Toyoda, Kei Sakamoto, Goro Yamanaka, Shusaku Sugimoto

“…In this study, we performed numerical experiments with an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model and investigated oceanic responses to cold- and warm-season atmospheric forcing, focusing on the Kuroshio and North Pacific subtropical mode water (STMW) in the western mid-latitude North Pacific. …”

Main drivers of marine heat waves in the eastern South Pacific by David Carrasco, David Carrasco, Oscar Pizarro, Oscar Pizarro, Martín Jacques-Coper, Martín Jacques-Coper, Martín Jacques-Coper, Diego A. Narváez, Diego A. Narváez

“…We find that most events are dominated by diminished heat loss –associated with reduced evaporation– and enhanced insolation; thus, this group is called ASHF (for air-sea heat fluxes). The second type of MHWs is driven by heat advection, predominantly forced by anomalous eastward surface currents superimposed on a mean westward temperature gradient. …”

Disentangling the North Pacific Meridional Mode from tropical Pacific variability by Ingo Richter, Malte F. Stuecker, Naoya Takahashi, Niklas Schneider

“…These subtropical SST variations, known as the North Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM), are thought to be triggered by extratropical atmospheric forcing and amplified by air-sea coupling involving surface winds, evaporation, and SST. …”

The zonal North Pacific Oscillation: a high-impact atmospheric teleconnection pattern influencing the North Pacific and North America by Anran Zhuge, Benkui Tan

“…It may cause rapid surface air temperature drop or rise over the northern North Pacific and North America, remarkable sea ice concentration anomalies over the northeastern Bering Sea, and strong convective anomalies in the lower troposphere over the eastern and western midlatitude North Pacific. …”

Climate-Driven Synchrony in Anchovy Fluctuations: A Pacific-Wide Comparison by Haoyu Li, Xiaonan Zhang, Yang Zhang, Qi Liu, Fengwen Liu, Donglin Li, Hucai Zhang

“…We also found that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation index (PDOI), North Pacific index (NPI), North Pacific Gyre Oscillation index (NPGOI), Sea Surface Temperature anomaly (SSTA), and Air Temperature anomaly (ATA) were the most influential factors explaining the variability in anchovy catch for CCE, whereas the NPGOI was the most influential factor for HCE. …”
