On Barotropic Mechanisms of Uncertainty Propagation in Estimation of Drake Passage Transport

TL;DR: In this article, uncertainty in estimation of Drake Passage transport is analyzed in a Hessian-based uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework, which extends the adjoint-based ocean state estimation method to provide formal error bounds functionality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consequences of Different Air-Sea Feedbacks on Ocean Using MITgcm and MERRA-2 Forcing: Implications for Coupled Data Assimilation Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare surface net heat flux from a state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis, the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), to the surface flux from an ocean state estimate, the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Version 4 (ECCO-v4).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Deep Ocean Observing Strategy: Addressing Global Challenges in the Deep Sea Through Collaboration

TL;DR: The Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS) as mentioned in this paper is an international, community-driven initiative that facilitates collaboration across disciplines and fields, elevates a diverse cohort of early career researchers into future leaders, and connects scientific advancements to societal needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ending a Sea of Confusion: Insights and Opportunities in Sea-Level Change Communication

TL;DR: In the Arctic, where calving glaciers and melting sea ice are part of a larger warming trend as discussed by the authors, sea-level rise affects coastal environments, economies, and societies, and effectively planning for and respond to it is needed.
