TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed in-situ Argo floats measurements, data-assimilated HYCOM/NCODA reanalysis, and the longer-term (1961-2010) variations of Ocean Reanalysis System 4 (ORAS4) based barrier layer (BL) in the TC main development region (MDR) to characterize the BL in the western North Pacific (WNP) for different temporal scales and to understand its role in resisting TC induced sea surface cooling.

TL;DR: Hu et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the near surface circulation in the Taiwan Strait using 110 satellite-tracked surface drifters from 1989 to 2007, showing that almost all winter driftersthat enter the Taiwan strait eventually move southward.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of dissolved salts playing in the degradation process of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) at a scale of molecular movement is clarified. And the authors conclude that the inelastic collision between the terrestrial DOM molecules and dissolved salt ions in seawater is a decisive dynamic mechanism for rapid loss of terrestrial DOM.

TL;DR: The U.S. Navy Geodetic Satellite (Geosat) altimeter mission operated for nearly 5 years (from March 1985 to January 1990) and generated an unprecedented sea level record from space as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found limited chlorophyll-a responses to three late autumn typhoons (typhoon Nesat, Mujigae and Khanun) in the northwestern South China Sea (NWSCS) using satellite observations.
