Cold Spells, Fresh Waves, and the Biogeochemical Response in the North Atlantic Cold Anomaly Region Open
Regional effects of marine cold spells (MCS, periods of anomalous cooling), their impact on ecosystem biogeochemistry, and link to salinity extremes remain underexplored. A case in point is North Atlantic's Cold Anomaly (CA) region (known …

Abrupt Changes in the Timing and Magnitude of the North Atlantic Bloom Over the 21st Century Open
The North Atlantic subpolar gyre (SPG) is a key region for the North Atlantic bloom (NAB), the phytoplankton foundation of the regional food web. The NAB depends on nutrients seasonally introduced into the surface ocean by deep winter conv…

Marine heatwaves and cold spells in the Northeast Atlantic: what should the UK be prepared for? Open
Up to now, the UK has avoided major marine heatwaves (MHWs) that cause severe damage to marine ecosystems and the blue economy. However, an unprecedented in its intensity, though short-lived, MHW occurred in UK waters in June 2023. This ev…

An exceptional phytoplankton bloom in the southeast Madagascar Sea driven by African dust deposition Open
Rising surface temperatures are projected to cause more frequent and intense droughts in the world's drylands. This can lead to land degradation, mobilization of soil particles, and an increase in dust aerosol emissions from arid and semi-…

Absence of the Great Whirl giant ocean vortex abates productivity in the Somali upwelling region Open
Somali upwelling is the fifth largest upwelling globally with high productivity, attracting tuna migratory species. A key control on the upwelling productivity is its interaction with one of the world’s largest oceanic eddies, the Great Wh…

Automated detection of coastal upwelling in the Western Indian Ocean: Towards an operational “Upwelling Watch” system Open
Coastal upwelling is an oceanographic process that brings cold, nutrient-rich waters to the ocean surface from depth. These nutrient-rich waters help drive primary productivity which forms the foundation of ecological systems and the fishe…

Retention properties of the Agulhas bank and their relevance to the chokka squid life cycle Open
Retention is thought to be a crucial component required to create a favourable habitat for coastal pelagic species. It is vital for the survival of ‘chokka’ squid (Loligo reynaudii), which is a fishery that supports thousands of people liv…

Drivers of productivity on the Agulhas Bank and the importance for marine ecosystems Open
The Agulhas Bank, an area of broad continental shelf extending 250 km offshore of South Africa, sustains rich and productive fisheries. However, its primary production is driven by a complex mosaic of biophysical mechanisms, highly variabl…
