How Does Pacific Decadal Oscillation Modulate El Nino-related Eastward Transport Anomaly?
The Equatorial Intermediate Currents (EICs) contribute to global circulation, climate variability, and distributions of heat, watermass, and biogeochemical quantities.

Argo Observations Reveal Structure and Evolution of Decadal Spiciness Variability in North Pacific During 2004-2020
Ocean spiciness is referred to as density-compensated temperature and salinity variations with warm (cool) and salty (fresh) waters having high (low) spiciness, respectively. However, the structure and evolution of density-compensated spiciness anomalie...Ocean spiciness is referred to as density-compensated temperature and salinity variations with warm (cool) and salty (fresh) waters having high (low) spiciness, respectively.

Scientists Reassess Geohazards of Buried Landslide Deposits and Their Impact on Seabed Ecosystems
Submarine landslide deposit is not only one of the most important sedimentary units at continental shelf margin and slope, but also an important geohazard, which seriously affects oil and gas drilling and submarine pipeline and cable construction. Many ...Submarine landslide deposit is not only one of the most important sedimentary units at continental shelf margin and slope, but also an important geohazard, which seriously affects oil and gas drilling and submarine pipeline and cable construction.

Scientists Construct New Global Surface Ocean CO2 Partial Pressure Product Using Regional-specific Predictors
As a net sink for atmospheric CO2, global oceans have removed about one-third of anthropogenic CO2 since the beginning of the industrial revolution. However, there is significant uncertainty in the estimation of the global ocean sea-air CO2 flux, which ...As a net sink for atmospheric CO2, global oceans have removed about one-third of anthropogenic CO2 since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Researchers Reveal Control of Ocean Production on Radiolarian Assemblages in Western Equatorial Pacific
The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) contains the warmest surface waters exceeding 28.5oC, being the earth’s heat engine and influencing global climate change. This region is also reported to be excessively oligotrophic, possibly induced by a strong py...The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) contains the warmest surface waters exceeding 28.5°C, being the earth's heat engine and influencing global climate change.
