Airborne Interferometric Radar Altimeter Shows Potential for Submesoscale SSHA Measurements
To date, humanity has not been able to observe two-dimensional (2D) oceanic processes at the 0.1-10 km submesoscale in the spatial domain through remote sensing. The sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) signal at this scale is small and exceeds the resolut...To date, humanity has not been able to observe two-dimensional (2D) oceanic processes at the 0.1-10 km submesoscale in the spatial domain through remote sensing.

Altered Oceanic Crust May Contribute to Arc Magmas
As an important subduction component, altered oceanic crust (AOC) is widely distributed on the oceanic subducting slab and potentially has significant contributions to the chemistry of arc magmas.As an important subduction component, altered oceanic crust (AOC) is widely distributed on the oceanic subducting slab and potentially has significant contributions to the chemistry of arc magmas.
However, identifying this contribution in arc magmas...

Novel Method to Calculate Ocean Heat Content in Indo-Pacific Convergence Zone
The oceans primarily absorb the imbalance in Earth's energy caused by human-induced greenhouse gases. However, current ocean heat content (OHC) measurements don't fully close the global energy budget.The oceans primarily absorb the imbalance in Earth's energy caused by human-induced greenhouse gases.

How Does Salinity Affect Seasonality of Makassar Strait Throughflow?
The Makassar Strait Throughflow (MST) accounts for approximately 77% of the total volume transport of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), thereby significantly influences mass and heat exchanges between the Indo-Pacific basin and global climate.The Makassar Strait Throughflow (MST) accounts for approximately 77% of the total volume transport of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), thereby significantly influences mass and heat exchanges between the Indo-Pacific basin and global climate.
