TL;DR: The Gulf Stream is the upper limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which has varied in strength in the past and is predicted to weaken in response to human-induced global warming in the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical processes that lie behind the interaction of sharp SST gradients and the overlying marine atmospheric boundary layer and deeper atmosphere, using high-resolution satellite data, field data and numerical models, are examined.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-spectral and linear regression method was used to identify robust relationships between ocean and atmospheric variables, and a remarkably consistent in-phase relationship between SST and wind speed was found over the complete domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of internal solitary waves crossing a continental slope in the presence of a seasonal thermocline and made comparisons between a fully nonlinear computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and weakly non-linear theory, and showed that wave capping is due to laminar, large amplitude solitary wave dynamics and is independent of turbulent mixing.
