This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Surface warming over Greenland amplified by remote forcing from tropical Atlantic” by Zhang et al. (2025). Recent research indicates that sea surface temperature variability in the tropical North Atlantic acts as a remote driver for the significant warming of the Greenland... 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” and "Critique " podcasts, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Emergence of an oceanic CO2 uptake hole under global warming” by Huiji Lee et al. (2025). Deep Dive Podcast “North Atlantic Carbon Sink Reverses Near-Term” powered by NotebookLM: Two hosts provide a critical analysis and constructive feedback to... Continue Reading →
This is not something that I look forward to. But, I can definitely understand the appeal. You don't need to rehearse your talk, dress up, drink a cup of tea to calm down your nerves. The technology is already here. New AI-powered platforms like DeeVid, Synthesia, and HeyGen can let you generate a talking avatar... Continue Reading →
I usually spend about 10 ~ 20 minutes every morning for literature review before I start my daily routine. Sometimes, a paper looks very interesting, but requires me to spend more than 10 to 15 mins to be able to understand the main takeaway. This is particularly true for those papers with long abstracts and... Continue Reading →
Seasonal hurricane outlooks, such as those issued by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, Colorado State University (Klotzbach et al., 2017), European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and University of Arizona (Davis and Zeng, 2019), produce skillful (i.e.,. better than climatology) seasonal forecasts of overall North Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) activity. Such forecasts are possible because seasonal... Continue Reading →
I was discussing with my colleagues about a recent northward shift of the Gulf Stream position and debating why that happened. So, I decided to read again one of my favorite physical oceanography papers "A two-level wind and buoyancy driven thermocline model" by the late Dr. Peter D. Killworth. This paper was published in 1985... Continue Reading →

Tropical cyclone (TC) activity results in substantial loss of life and property damage. While the Atlantic basin has experienced a pronounced increase in accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) and the number of TCs over the past 50 years, TC-resolving climate models project a slight decrease in TC frequency throughout the 21st century (e.g., Roberts et al.,...
