TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed a series of climate model experiments along with observational data to show that the recent warming trend in Atlantic sea surface temperature and the corresponding trans-basin displacements of the main atmospheric pressure centers were key drivers of the observed Walker circulation intensification, eastern Pacific cooling, North American rainfall trends and western Pacific sea-level rise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of the altimetry-based global mean sea level (average variance of 3.1 +/- 0.3 mm/yr and acceleration of 0.1 mm/r2 over 1993-present), as well as of the different components of the sea level budget over 2005-present, using GRACE-based ocean mass estimates.

TL;DR: This investigation of the cascade from tides to turbulence along the Hawaiian Ridge found internal-wave energy is enhanced, and turbulent dissipation in the region near the ridge is 10 times larger than open-ocean values.

A Shift in Western Tropical Pacific Sea Level Trends during the 1990s
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the Pacific Ocean sea surface height trends from satellite altimeter observations for 1993-2009 and found that the dominant regional trends in the western tropical Pacific and minimal to negative rates in the eastern Pacific, particularly off North America, correspond to an intensification of the easterly trade winds across the tropical Pacific.
