TL;DR: In this paper, genetic markers were used to describe the transport of the calanoid copepod Metridia pacifica in a cool filament off Point Arena, California, in July 1986.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-scale modeling system with unified physics was developed at NASA Goddard, which consists of a cloud-resolving model (CRM), a regional-scale model, the NASA unified Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF), and a coupled CRM-GCM (general circulation model), known as the Goddard Multi-scale Modeling Framework or MMF).

TL;DR: In this article, coupled bred vectors (BVs) generated from the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) coupled general circulation model are designed to capture the uncertainties related to slowly varying coupled instabilities.

TL;DR: An overview of GODAE focusing on aspects relevant to the development of a global ocean observing system and to the demonstration of its scientific and practical societal benefits is given in this article, where the main operational applications are identified and the benefits of the integrated and global GODAE approach for meeting these requirements.

TL;DR: In this article, wind stress curl patterns over the north Pacific, between 3° and 55°N, are calculated from the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS), and the dominant modes of variability are associated with the changes in position and intensity of the Aleutian low and the sub-tropical high, each of which extends across the basin, the former in winter and the latter in summer.
