Abstract. According to the typical thermal structure of ocean, water column can be divided into three layers: mixed layer, thermocline and deep layer. In this study, we provide a new methodology, based on function adjustment temperature profile, locate minimum maximum depths strongest thermocline. We first validated our methodology by comparing layer depth obtained with method proposed here oth...

While sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific are dominated by the thermocline feedback, in the central equatorial Pacific local wind effects, such as zonal advection, are important as well. El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) simulations with a linear model improve markedly if these effects are included as a local wind stress feedback on SST. An atmosphere mod...

The demand for renewable energy sources is limited by their inherent intermittent nature. thermal storage technique overcomes this shortcoming allowing of naturally occurring (e.g. solar) during “non-peak hours”. article presents an experimental investigation the sparsely studied ‘single medium thermocline’ (SMT) based single tank sensible (TES). work aims to reconsider its potential minimizing...

Understanding the forced response of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to future global warming (GW) is important for reliable climate projections; however, many aspects this are yet be fully understood. Here, we use two large ensembles CMIP6 historical and SSP3-7.0 experiments (each with 40 ensemble members), performed ACCESS-ESM1.5, investigate combined greenhouse gas (GHG) aerosol changes ...

The greater Agulhas Current region is an important component of the climate system, yet its influence on carbon and nutrient cycling poorly understood. Here, we use nitrate isotopes (δ15N, δ18O, Δ(15–18) = δ15N–δ18O) to trace regional water mass circulation investigate nitrogen in adjacent recirculating waters. deep intermediate waters record processes occurring remotely, including partial assi...
