Will work for sardines: 20 years of animal-borne ocean observing by Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Animal Tagging Facility

The world’s ocean stores ~90% of the excess heat generated by anthropogenic global warming, making sustained ocean observations essential for understanding physical, biological and climate processes. Here, we describe how the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Animal Taggi...

Evaluation of the Impact of Aged Biomass Burning Emissions on the Global Ozone From the Surface to the Lower Stratosphere

Abstract Biomass burning (BB) is a major global sources of ozone (O 3 ) precursors, including nitrogen oxides (NO x ), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here, we combine Community Earth System Model 1 with airborne measurements from the NASA Atmospheric...

Method for Calculating a Generic Oil

Accidental oil spills are an all-too-common occurrence. In order to properly plan for and respond to oil spills, responders and planners need to understand how the oil will behave in the environment: how it will weather and how it will affect ecosystems and biota. To address this...

Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems

ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food...

Layer‐Dependent Diurnal Moist Static Energy Biases in the Unified Forecast System During the MJO Preconditioning Stage: A DYNAMO Case Study

Abstract Accurate simulation of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) requires realistic diurnal evolution and vertical distribution of moist static energy (MSE). While prior studies documented MSE bias in simulations, vertically dependent physical processes responsible for these b...
