Oceanic mesoscale eddies are often thought to have coherent structures that trap water in their cores.🌊 However, a new study shows that smaller-scale motions, known as submesoscale stirring, can disrupt this coherence. 🔗 doi.org/10.1029/2025... #AGUPubs #Oceans #Oceanography @agu.org

Downscaling is a common technique used in ocean prediction models to take large-scale information and refine it for local applications. Eidt et al., test the performance of a downscaling technique in the Northern Adriatic Sea 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

The ocean beneath ice shelves plays a critical role in their evolution and stability. Xiahou et al., describe a 4.5-year record of ocean measurements beneath the central Ross Ice Shelf to evaluate how the cavity seawater changes over time 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Landfast sea ice provides a platform for human activities, habitat for shorebirds and marine mammals, and protection from coastal erosion. Mahoney and Einhorn reveal diminishing landfast sea ice in the Beaufort Sea 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

The deep parts of the Arctic's Canada and Makarov Basins are among the most isolated waters in the ocean. Pasqualini et al., use tracer measurements to suggest that the last major flushing of deep water happened about 450 years ago 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Icebergs provide a source of fresh meltwater to the polar ocean. Understanding how and when icebergs decay is critical to understanding their role in the climate system. Mamer and Robel investigate the role of surface waves in melting icebergs 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

As the upper ocean warms, this might enhance stratification and suppress exchange between the near-surface and deeper ocean layers. Kawai et al., investigate subduction and obduction rates in the North Pacific and find both are increasing 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Biogeochemical models are generally less skillful than their physical counterparts. Kearney et al., compare the performance of 3 biogeochemical models in a Bering Sea case study. Zooplankton parameters were a key driver of model divergences 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Greenland's fjords are pathways for exchange of heat and freshwater between the continental shelf and outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Vries et al., present year-round water column velocity observations for Nuup Kangerlua in SW Greenland 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Nares Strait is an export pathway of Arctic sea ice where transport is highly intermittent due to formation & collapse of sea ice arches. Montemuro & Manucharyan model how the presence of small islands in the strait affects the movement of sea ice 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Stress–strain relationships are fundamental to understanding sea ice deformation mechanics. Fedders et al., use in-situ sensors to obtain stress and strain measurements at the ice surface, constraining these values under natural conditions 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Nares Strait is a gateway for the export of Arctic waters to the North Atlantic. Yet the long-term evolution of its water masses is poorly characterized.

If meltwater forms deep in the ocean it can be supercooled and freeze into platelet ice crystals, which contribute to sea ice formation. Brett et al., find thick bands of platelet ice formed from Ice Shelf Water released by the Campbell Ice Tongue 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Ocean mesoscale eddies are the most important agent of horizontal mixing across oceanic fronts. Bashmachnikov et al., investigate the effect of eddies on sea ice cover in the Greenland Sea finding that eddies limit the eastward spread of ice 🧊 🐻‍❄️ 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
