On the development of GFDL's decadal prediction system: Initialization...
Using GFDL's new coupled model SPEAR, we have developed a decadal coupled reanalysis/initialization system (DCIS) that does not use subsurface ocean observations. In DCIS, the...- publication PDF

Rapid sea-level rise in the Southern-Hemisphere subtropical oceans
The subtropical oceans between 35 degrees and 20 degrees S in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) have exhibited prevailingly rapid sea level rise (SLR) rates since the mid-twentieth...- publication PDF

Synoptic-to-planetary scale wind variability enhances phytoplankton biomass...
In nutrient-limited conditions, phytoplankton growth at fronts is enhanced by winds, which drive upward nutrient fluxes via enhanced turbulent mixing and upwelling. Hence,...- publication PDF
