Global observations of nonlinear mesoscale eddies

TL;DR: In this paper, an automated procedure for identifying and tracking mesoscale features based on their SSH signatures yields 35,891 eddies with average lifetime of 32 weeks and an average propagation distance of 550 km.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and evaluation of an Earth-System model – HadGEM2

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and evaluation of an Earth system model suitable for centennial-scale climate prediction, which includes terrestrial and ocean ecosystems and gas-phase tropospheric chemistry along with their coupled interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ocean Deoxygenation in a Warming World

TL;DR: The potential for larger O2 declines in the future suggests the need for an improved observing system for tracking ocean 02 changes, and an important consequence may be an expansion in the area and volume of so-called oxygen minimum zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global patterns and predictors of marine biodiversity across taxa

TL;DR: Two major patterns emerged: coastal species showed maximum diversity in the Western Pacific, whereas oceanic groups consistently peaked across broad mid-latitudinal bands in all oceans, and changes in ocean temperature, in conjunction with other human impacts, may ultimately rearrange the global distribution of life in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

World ocean heat content and thermosteric sea level change (0–2000 m), 1955–2010

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided updated estimates of the change of ocean heat content and the thermosteric component of sea level change of the 0-700 and 0-2000m layers of the World Ocean for 1955-2010.
