Tropical Western Pacific Thermal Structure and its Relationship to Ocean Surface Variables: A Numerical State Estimate and Forereef Temperature Records Open
Complex interactions between open ocean and nearshore environments pose a predictability problem.Basin-scale ocean models are typically run at grid scales that do not accurately resolve individual islands, and model output is assessed most…

An impulsive or rotary wind stress can excite near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) in the surface mixed layer.Although previous work shows that coastal boundaries modify NIOs, few studies have explored their behavior near island topography.Un…

Thermally driven bleaching events are a growing concern for reef ecosystems across the tropics. To assess and predict thermal stress impacts on reefs, remotely observed sea surface temperature (SST) commonly is used; however, reef communit…

Ocean-Island Interactions in the Western Pacific Open
Coastal processes around islands encompass dynamics on a range of scales with physics that can differ from typical continental shelves due to steeper bathymetry, potentially allowing the surrounding basin waters to ‘communicate’ quickly to…
