TL;DR: The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (IDP2017) as discussed by the authors is the second publicly available data product of the international GEOTrACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of 2016.

TL;DR: The decadal mean circulation in the northern North Atlantic was assessed for the early 21st century from repeated ship-based measurements along the Greenland-Portugal OVIDE line, from satellite altimetry and from earlier reported transports across 59.5°N and at Greenland-Scotland sills as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the data base MEDATLAS and data from more recent monitoring programs to construct the longest temperature and salinity time series ever analyzed in the Western Mediterranean (1900 to 2008).

TL;DR: The RADMED project as discussed by the authors is devoted to the implementation and maintenance of a multidisciplinary monitoring system around the Spanish Mediterranean waters, which is based on periodic multi-disciplinary cruises covering the coastal waters, continental shelf and slope waters and some deep stations (>2000m) from the Westernmost Alboran Sea to Barcelona in the Catalan Sea, including the Balearic Islands.

TL;DR: It is inferred that a doubling of atmospheric anthropogenic CO2 levels—which could occur within three decades according to a ‘business-as-usual scenario’ for climate change—could reduce the transport of xc[CO32−] by 64–79 per cent of that in preindustrial times, which could severely endanger cold-water coral habitats.
