Sill depth changes within the wind mixed layer establish lagoonal and estuarine conditions with limited exchange across the sill resulting in brackish or even fresher Arctic conditions.

Therefore, the surface layer of the ocean is particularly important. Recent research published in Frontiers in Marine Science has investigated how the depth of the mixed layer (the deepest layer ...

A new study from Kyushu University points the finger at an unlikely culprit: mixed-phase clouds that behave like a thermal ...

This was seen even in 2019 during the Northwest Pacific marine heatwave, when the mixed layer depth reached a record low because of higher winds and stronger surface heating. According to a post ...

As winter's brutal grip on the Arctic has begun to loosen, the vast region's sea ice cover likely reached its maximum extent for the year on March 14. That maximum spread of the ice was not as paltry ...

GENEVA (AP) — The depletion of the ozone layer shielding Earth from damaging ultraviolet rays has reached an unprecedented low over the Arctic this spring because of harmful chemicals and a cold ...

Data from two Arctic sites suggest some surface layers are no longer freezing ... Measurements at his site show that snow depth there has roughly doubled in five years. When excessive snow ...
