       'Pumice rafts derived from submarine eruptions can remain afloat for months or even years, traveling thousands of kilometers on ocean currents. These natural phenomena disperse marine organisms and provide important evidence for submarine volcanism yet are not fully understood. Here, we describe pumice clasts from Falkland Islands shorelines and use major-minor-trace element analyses to trace their provenance to the 1962 volcanic eruption on Protector Shoal, a large seamount in the South Sandwich Islands, Scotia Sea. Compositional variability between rafted and dredged pumice from Protector Shoal suggests eruptions have varied from explosive to non- or mildly explosive (the latter from lava domes and during neptunian events) and the seamount is volcanically diverse. Oceanographic modeling simulations and historical observations show that clasts from the 1962 eruption reached the Falkland Islands via the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, a journey of ∼20,000 km that took approximately three years. Although oceanographic variability strongly affects modeled transport pathways, in all simulations particles consistently reach the Falkland Islands from Protector Shoal seamount, suggesting a persistent long-distance connection. The results highlight the potential for pumice rafting to disperse non-native, potentially invasive, marine organisms throughout the Southern Ocean as climate warms.',

+      'Mesoscale coastal eddies are key components of ocean circulation, mediating the transport of heat, nutrients, and marine debris. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high-resolution sea surface height data, offering a novel opportunity to improve the observation and characterization of these features, especially in coastal regions where conventional altimetry is limited. In this study, we investigate a mesoscale anticyclonic coastal eddy observed southwest of Mallorca Island, in the Balearic Sea, to assess the impact of SWOT-enhanced altimetry in resolving its structure and dynamics. Initial eddy identification is performed using satellite ocean color imagery, followed by a qualitative and quantitative comparison of multiple altimetric datasets, ranging from conventional nadir altimetry to wide-swath products derived from SWOT. We analyze multiple altimetric variables—Sea Level Anomaly, Absolute Dynamic Topography, Velocity Magnitude, Eddy Kinetic Energy, and Relative Vorticity—highlighting substantial differences in spatial detail and intensity. Our results show that SWOT-enhanced observations significantly improve the spatial characterization and dynamical depiction of the eddy. Furthermore, Lagrangian transport simulations reveal how altimetric resolution influences modeled transport pathways and retention patterns. These findings underline the critical role of SWOT in advancing the monitoring of coastal mesoscale processes and improving our ability to model oceanic transport mechanisms.',

+      'The primary objective of this study is to perform a sensitivity analysis of Lagrangian trajectory models. Trajectory simulations have been compared to six OpenMetBuoy-v2021 drifter trajectories in the Agulhas Current System (Jan–Mar 2023). Three different Lagrangian trajectory simulations have been assessed: (1) two offline Lagrangian tracking tools, OpenDrift and Parcels, (2) three Eulerian ocean surface current products, HYCOM, Mercator and Globcurrent, and (3) the addition of wind and/or wave forcing parameterizations. The latter has also been evaluated by strong ocean current, high wind speed and Stokes drift regimes. Firstly, using the same time stepping scheme and linear interpolation methods, the different Lagrangian simulators OpenDrift and Parcels, performed identically. Secondly, the Globcurrent product showed the highest mean skill of the three ocean current products, although it underestimated the speed for strong ocean currents due to its spatial resolution. The HYCOM and Mercator model simulations showed, respectively, 40% and 15% lower skill than the Globcurrent simulations. Finally, the addition of the Stokes drift and a wind drift factor (WDF), improved the Lagrangian simulation performance in skill and speed, especially in high wind (10 m/s) and/or Stokes drift regimes (0.15 m/s). The optimal WDF for the OpenMetBuoy-v2021 is found to be 1.8% and 2.3% for simulations including and excluding Stokes drift forcing respectively. To further improve the incorporation of Stokes drift and direct wind drag on the trajectory simulations, a more physically based solution is advised as there are still numerous wind and wave related processes that remain unresolved, like wave–current interactions and vertical shear. To statistically strengthen the conclusions from this research, incorporating additional observed drifter trajectories would be highly favourable.',

+      'Substantial interannual-to-decadal variations in the sources and pathways of the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) water have been found in observational and modeling studies, yet long-term trends remain underexplored due to limited record lengths and insufficient evaluation of climate model skill in simulating EUC water sources and pathways. As a necessary first step for model skill evaluation, here we investigate EUC water sources and pathways by implementing an offline particle tracer scheme applied to two high-resolution ocean reanalysis datasets, Global Ocean Reanalysis and Simulation (GLORYS) and Ocean Reanalysis System, version 5 (ORAS5). In agreement with observational studies and prior model results, we find that the primary off-equatorial source of the EUC is the southeastern subtropical Pacific (SESP) (15% of the total from the tropical Pacific). During 1979–2023, we identify an increasing trend in the contribution of this source to the western-central Pacific portion of the EUC, alongside a decreasing trend in its contribution to the eastern Pacific portion. Furthermore, we find a deepening trend in the water pathway from SESP into the EUC during 1979–2023, along with a westward shift in the pathway toward the eastern Pacific portion of the EUC during 2003–22. We attribute the trends in the SESP source to increased mixed layer depth and vertical downward pumping. The westward shift trend in the pathway is due to accelerated southwestward currents in SESP, driven by increased southwest trades over the region. The identified trends may contribute to the strengthening of the equatorial Pacific zonal sea surface temperature gradient by allowing for enhanced water mixing along the preferred pathway toward the EUC and cooling of the EUC core.',

+      'Population connectivity facilitates genetic exchange and increases resilience of populations promoting long-term persistence. For sessile benthic invertebrates, larval dispersal provides the main mechanism to achieving population connectivity. Here, we use biophysical modelling of larval dispersal to elucidate potential connections between populations and quantify dispersal pathways, which we combine with network-theoretic analyses to evaluate their potential importance to the stability of the entire network. Because the necessary parameters for these analyses are difficult to quantify for deep-sea species with unresolved life-history traits, we explore multiple scenarios using a range of likely life-history trait values. Focussing on the deep-water coral Lophelia pertusa (=Desmophyllum pertusum) over its North American range in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, we used a high-resolution ocean circulation model in combination with larval parameters to project larval dispersal for each season over 14 years from 2005 to 2018. We then use the larval dispersal pathways to identify connections between populations, and network theory to uncover network structure and quantify the importance of each population to the overall connectivity within the network. Larval retention was strongest in the northern domain and within the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting these populations could persist without larval influence from other areas. The two dominant transport pathways occurred following the Gulf Stream from Florida north towards the eastern United States and following the Labrador Current travelling southwestwards from the Canadian EEZ with little exchange between northern and southern domains. Our network-theoretic analysis suggested that the populations of L. pertusa in Norfolk Canyon are primarily responsible for exchange between northern and southern populations, with no northward connections. Our community detection analysis based on population connectivity agrees well with previous patterns based on estimates of genetic connectivity in the area. This is the first study to analyse potential connectivity of L. pertusa in the NW Atlantic Ocean, and projects consistency in the dominant connection pathways throughout spawning seasons, years, and for biological parameters. Our results are integral in assessing a populations susceptibility to anthropogenic disturbance and are directly applicable to other deep-sea species in our domain with similar life-history traits to those within the modelled ranges.',

+      'The Agulhas leakage is expected to increase as the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds change under climate warming. An increased Agulhas leakage could potentially strengthen the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). To date, however, it remains elusive how much this process could affect the AMOC, which is projected to weaken in the future. Here we carry out a suite of ocean-only simulations, which represent the present climate, and show that an arbitrary 10 Sv increase in the Agulhas leakage strengthens the AMOC by less than 1.3 Sv, which will unlikely substantially offset the projected AMOC weakening. The weak AMOC intensification arises due to compensation between subsurface warming and salinification. However, the AMOC responses to Agulhas leakage increases may depend on the climate background state. Initialized from a collapsed AMOC, which likely occurred during the glacial period, an increased Agulhas leakage can vigorously strengthen the AMOC due to a more unstable AMOC.',
