Special Online Supplement to the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Vol. 107, No. 8, August, 2026

Net primary production in the Southern Ocean plays a critical role in governing ecosystem production, the biological carbon pump, and global biogeochemical cycles. Recent work has advanced our unders...

Nature Geoscience - Aerosol deposition onto the surface of the ocean has been underestimated, suggesting that aerosol lifetimes over the ocean are longer than previously appreciated, according to a...

For decades, the surface of the polar Southern Ocean (south of 50°S) has been freshening—an expected response to a warming climate. This freshening...

The School for Climate Studies at Stellenbosch University (www.climate.sun.ac.za ) in collaboration with the Southern Ocean Carbon Climate Observatory (SOCCO) at CSIR, DFFE: Oceans and Coasts Branch, ...

Phytoplankton are tiny, single-celled organisms mainly found in the ocean’s sunlit surface, where they grow through photosynthesis, forming the marine food web’s base and regulating Earth’s climate by...

Abstract. Phytoplankton bloom phenology is an important indicator for the monitoring and management of marine resources and the assessment of climate change impacts on ocean ecosystems. Despite its re...

Just one life-saving machine is still limping along at the isolated outpost. Back-up systems have thrown in the towel. As help from the South African mainland has been delayed again, all base staff ca...

A CSIR study analysing 26 years of satellite data reveals how ocean warming is significantly reducing ocean productivity

An International Study of the Marine Biogeochemical Cycles of Trace Elements and Isotopes - Trace Element data available including an on-line Atlas eGEOTRACES

The following study developed a model ranking system to reduce the uncertainties associated with future projections of ocean productivity. Declines are much more likely than presently predicted, but e...

Earth system models underestimate the decline in net primary productivity associated with ocean warming, meaning future net primary productivity decline is more likely than currently estimated, accord...
