Figure 5 from Zhu et al. (2026). Relationships between decadal sea level anomalies (SLAs) and climate modes for the 1950-2020 period. (a) Correlation coefficients between decadal SLAs (with global mean sea level (GMSL) removed) from tide gauge data and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index. (b) Decadal SLAs from tide gauge observation (black line) and... Continue Reading →
Figure 6 from Ender et al. (2026). EOFs 1 of monthly ERA5 sea level pressure over the North Atlantic (20°- 80°N, 90°W-0) for full record [(a); 1993–01 to 2023-12], Period 1 [(b); 1997–06 to 2001-10], and Period 2 [(c); 2004–02 to 2008-06]. Percent variance explained by each EOF is expressed in subplot titles. This blog... Continue Reading →
Figure 13 from Kim et al. (2026): Spatially averaged sea level changes (cm) from historical period (1993–2020) in (a) the northern Gulf of America, (b) West Florida shelf, (c) the South Atlantic Bight, (d) the Middle Atlantic Bight, and (e) the Gulf of Maine under the SSP-126 (blue bars), SSP-245 (cyan bars), SSP-370 (orange bars) and SSP-585 (red bars) simulations. The dynamic sea level changes are... Continue Reading →
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 →
This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Irminger Sea Is the Center of Action for Subpolar AMOC Variability” by Chafik et al. (2022). Summary: Chafik et al. (2022) identified the Irminger Sea as the primary "center of action" for driving fluctuations in the subpolar Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation... Continue Reading →
This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Human-induced changes in the global meridional overturning circulation are emerging from the Southern Ocean” by Lee et al. (2023). For decades, the story of the ocean's circulation in a warming world seemed straightforward. We have a clear picture of the "Global... Continue Reading →
This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Future strengthening of the Nordic Seas overturning circulation” by Årthun et al. (2023). When we talk about climate change and the ocean, one of the most prominent stories is the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This vast system... Continue Reading →
This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Noise-induced tipping of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation under climate mitigation scenarios” by Oh et al. (2025). It’s a hopeful and seemingly logical assumption: if humanity manages to stop increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, the climate system will gradually stabilize and...

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Combined impacts of hurricane strengthening and global mean sea level rise on future Atlantic storm surge events” by Danso et al. (2025). It’s a scenario that seems frighteningly straightforward: as climate change causes sea levels to rise and hurricanes to strengthen,... Continue Reading →
This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on "State of the Science Fact Sheet: Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)" by NOAA Science Council. This NOAA fact sheet briefly explains the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), defining it as a critical ocean current that transports heat, salt, and carbon by... Continue Reading →
