Hurricane influence on the oceanic eddies in the Gulf Stream region by Xinning Ni, Yu Zhang, Wei Wang

“…Abstract The Gulf Stream region (GSR) represents an area of robust oceanic eddies, active hurricanes, and more importantly, frequent encounters between the two phenomena. …”

From sea to sky: understanding the sea surface temperature impact on an atmospheric blocking event using sensitivity experiments with the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model by S. Christ, M. Wenta, C. M. Grams, C. M. Grams, A. Oertel

“…Previous studies indicated a link between the misrepresentation of blocking events in numerical weather prediction models and sea surface temperature (SST) biases, particularly in the Gulf Stream region. However, the pathway that links SST in the Gulf Stream region and the downstream upper-level flow is not yet fully understood. …”

Assessing the Future ODYSEA Satellite Mission for the Estimation of Ocean Surface Currents, Wind Stress, Energy Fluxes, and the Mechanical Coupling Between the Ocean and the Atmosp... by Marco Larrañaga, Lionel Renault, Alexander Wineteer, Marcela Contreras, Brian K. Arbic, Mark A. Bourassa, Ernesto Rodriguez

“…To this end, we generated synthetic ODYSEA data from a high-resolution coupled ocean–wave–atmosphere simulation of the Gulf Stream using ODYSIM, the Doppler scatterometer simulator for ODYSEA. …”

The very-high-resolution configuration of the EC-Earth global model for HighResMIP by E. Moreno-Chamarro, E. Moreno-Chamarro, E. Moreno-Chamarro, T. Arsouze, T. Arsouze, M. Acosta, P.-A. Bretonnière, M. Castrillo, E. Ferrer, A. Frigola, D. Kuznetsova, E. Martin-Martinez, P. Ortega, S. Palomas

“…Together, these results highlight the potential for improved simulated climate in key regions, such as the Gulf Stream and the Equator, when the atmospheric and oceanic resolutions are finer than 25 km in both the ocean and atmosphere. …”

Real-World Temperature Data From the Gulf of Mexico: Seasonality and Effect of the Loop Current With an Accessible Hands-On Activity by Andrée L. Ramsey, Mary Carla Curran, Amy S. Bower

“…Some of this warm water passes through the Gulf of Mexico via the circuitous Loop Current before joining the Gulf Stream near Florida. Because ocean temperature influences both the frequency and intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes over the ocean in general, and in the Gulf of Mexico specifically, tracking the position of the meandering Loop Current and its deep-reaching cargo of warm water improves weather prediction, and thus preparation for these extreme storms. …”

Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation – novel dangerous disease of farmed Salmonidae by V. P. Melnikov, V. V. Pronin

“…The vicinity of the affected areas to Russia, the Gulf Stream passing the Norwegian shore while moving towards the Murmansk Oblast as well as wild Salmonidae migration to the Barents Sea, White Sea and Pechora Sea through the Norwegian territorial waters coupled with high stability of the virus compose high threat of Piscine orthoreovirus introduction to the Russian Federation from the adjacent countries.…”

Delayed onset of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Maine by Joseph A. Stewart, Branwen Williams, Michèle LaVigne, Alan D. Wanamaker, Aaron L. Strong, Brittany Jellison, Nina M. Whitney, Diana L. Thatcher, Laura F. Robinson, Jochen Halfar, Walter Adey

“…This increase is attributed to an increased input of high alkalinity waters derived from the Gulf Stream. This delayed onset of ocean acidification is cause for concern. …”
