How Dry Skies Sustain Multiyear La Niña

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Rainfall sustains multiyear La Niña”  by Tian et al. (2026). This research investigates how rainfall-induced salinity changes act as a critical feedback loop to sustain multiyear La Niña events. While early stages of these cooling events are driven by ocean dynamics like advection, the study reveals... Continue Reading →

The Great Melt: Uncovering the Hidden Forces Reshaping Antarctica’s Underbelly

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Multi-model estimate of Antarctic ice-shelf basal mass budget and ocean drivers” by Galton-Fenzi et al. (2026). This research paper presents the Realistic Ice Shelf-Ocean Estimates (RISE) Project, which synthesizes nine different numerical simulations to establish a multi-model mean (MMM) of Antarctic...

The Arctic’s New Engine: Why the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is Defying the Warming Trend

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Atlantification drives recent strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation” by Årthun et al. (2026). A recent study examines how Atlantification, the northward expansion of warm Atlantic waters, is altering the Arctic overturning circulation. While traditional source regions for dense water in the Nordic Seas have... Continue Reading →

The Barents Sea – Arctic Engine Powering the Global Meridional Overturning Circulation

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on "The Arctic overturning circulation: transformations, pathways and timescales” by Dörr et al. (2026). Dörr et al. (2026) investigates the Arctic overturning circulation by analyzing how warm Atlantic Water is converted into Dense and Polar Waters. Utilizing a high-resolution ocean model and Lagrangian tracking, the authors... Continue Reading →

Salt Maintained Persistent Deep-Water Formation in the Glacial North Atlantic

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on a preprint article “Relatively warm deep-water formation persisted in the Last Glacial Maximum” by Wharton et al. (2026). This research investigates the state of the deep North Atlantic Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum, challenging previous theories that the deep sea... Continue Reading →

A 40-Year Hindcast Archive of U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Storm Surge and Wave from Landfalling Hurricanes

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on a preprint article “Tropical cyclone-driven storm surge and wave database for the US North Atlantic and Gulf coastlines” by Deb et al. (2026). This publicly available database provides a comprehensive hindcast of storm surge and wave conditions for 232 impactful tropical cyclones that struck the U.S.... Continue Reading →

Scientists Urge International Cooperation to Mitigate a Catastrophic AMOC Failure

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “A Nordic Perspective on AMOC Tipping: Impacts and Strategies for Prevention and Governance” by Nummelin et al. (2026). For centuries, the North Atlantic has functioned as the Earth’s thermal engine, driven by a "heartbeat" known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation... Continue Reading →

Local Winds Shape the South Atlantic Bight Primary Productivity and Acidity

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Wind control of the interannual ocean-biogeochemical variability in the South Atlantic Bight.” by Gomez et al. (2026). This research investigates how alongshore wind variability and the Gulf Stream control interannual changes in the marine ecosystem of the South Atlantic Bight. By... Continue Reading →

Steering the Deep Atlantic Conveyor Belt: The Role of the Eastern Arctic’s Eurasian Basin

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Impacts of eastern Arctic Eurasian Basin water mass properties on the AMOC and Beaufort Sea Atlantic water layer.” by Wei and Zhang (2026). Wei and Zhang (2026) investigates how water mass properties in the eastern Eurasian Basin influence global ocean patterns... Continue Reading →

A 20-Year Record of the Subpolar AMOC: Key Findings from the SCOTIA Program

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “The Scotland-Canada overturning array (SCOTIA): twenty years of meridional overturning in the subpolar North Atlantic” by Fox et al. (2026). The SCOTIA observing array provides a new 20-year record of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) at subpolar latitudes from 2004 to 2024. By integrating mooring data, Argo... Continue Reading →
