[1] Changes in instrumentation and data availability have caused time-varying biases estimates of global regional average sea surface temperature. The size the arising from these changes are estimated their uncertainties evaluated. associated largest during period immediately following Second World War, reflecting rapid incompletely documented shipping at time. Adjustments been applied to reduce effects gridded sets temperature results presented as a set interchangeable realizations....
[1] New estimates of measurement and sampling uncertainties gridded in situ sea surface temperature anomalies are calculated for 1850 to 2006. The account correlations between errors observations made by the same ship or buoy due, example, miscalibration thermometer. Correlations increase estimated on grid box averages. In boxes where there many from only a few ships drifting buoys, this can be large. also regional, hemispheric, global averages above beyond arising solely inflation...
During austral summer (DJF) 2017/18, the New Zealand region experienced an unprecedented coupled ocean-atmosphere heatwave, covering area of 4 million km2. Regional average air temperature anomalies over land were +2.2 °C, and sea surface reached +3.7 °C in eastern Tasman Sea. This paper discusses event, including atmospheric oceanic drivers, role anthropogenic warming, terrestrial marine impacts. The heatwave was associated with very low wind speeds, reducing upper ocean mixing allowing...
Abstract. The deep convection that occurs in the western basin of Mediterranean Sea was investigated using Argo float data over two consecutive winters 2004–2005 and 2005–2006. results showed mixed layers reaching 2000 m surprising locations, namely eastern Catalan subbasin (39.785° N, 4.845° E) Ligurian (43.392° 7.765° E). Subsequently, new water formed March 2005 2006 with θ=12.89–12.92°C, S=38.48–38.49 σθ=29.113 kg m−3. produced during more saline, warmer denser than any historical...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme ocean temperature events that can have wide-ranging and pervasive effects on marine species ecosystems. However, studies of MHW characteristics drivers primarily focus open-ocean environments, rather than the nearshore coastal (<10 km from coast, <50 m depth). This is despite waters sustaining significant commercial, recreational, customary fisheries aquaculture activities highly susceptible to impacts MHWs. The two longest (>50 year)...
Abstract Measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) are an important climate record, complementing terrestrial air observations, records marine temperature, ocean subsurface and heat content. SST has been measured since the 18th century, although observations sparse in early period. Historically, observing systems relied on made by seafarers necessary information measurement methods is often not available. There many historical descriptions practice instrumentation, some including...
Coastal regions of the world's oceans are critical to supporting fishing sector, recreation, tourism, and global blue economy. However, there is a paucity subsurface, in situ ocean measurements coastal shelf worldwide that corresponds region where majority commercial occurs. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Moana Project technology partner ZebraTech, Ltd. have co-designed fully automatic system measures, transmits, processes, disseminates temperature observations near real-time with goal providing...
Abstract. Here we present the first open-access long-term 3D hydrodynamic ocean hindcast for New Zealand estate. The 28-year 5 km×5 km resolution free-running model configuration was developed under umbrella of Moana Project, using Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) version 3.9. It includes an improved bathymetry, spectral tidal forcing at boundaries and inverse-barometer effect usually absent from global simulations. continuous integration provides a framework to improve our...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have increased worldwide in intensity, frequency, and duration, often with severe impacts on ecologically socio-economically important coastal habitats. Most MHW studies focused summer events specific regions or global open-water analyses little consideration to seasonality spatial biogeography of the nearshore zone. We address this research gap by analysing changes MHWs across seasons ecoregions, within 12 nautical miles (NM) New Zealand's coastline, an area high...
With climate heating, Aotearoa New Zealand is expected to experience more marine heatwaves (MHW) in the coming decades. These extreme events are already impacting island nation's and coastal environments industries at a variety of scales. There will potentially be substantial benefits developing an early warning system–specifically ocean seasonal forecast tools. This near-term 2,030 horizon scan reviews studies supporting development this capability notes work needed enable stakeholders...
Identifying species assemblages helps understand the relationship between organisms and their environment. Assemblages can be used to predict biological changes caused by environmental perturbations, are thus essential surrogates monitor biodiversity. In this study, identify describe seabird assemblages, we 15 at-sea ship-based survey data sets collected over 37°of latitude off eastern Australia, from 2016 2021. We fitted seasonal Region of Common Profile (RCP) mixture models, for two types...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency, duration and intensity, disrupting global marine ecosystems. While most reported impacts have been tropical areas, New Zealand experienced its strongest longest MHW 2022, profoundly affecting sponges. Sponges vital to rocky benthic communities, with their abundance influencing ecosystem functioning. This study examines the impact of this on photosynthetic sponge Cymbastella lamellata Fiordland, Zealand. We describe extent, physiological...
New Zealand (NZ) is an island nation with stewardship of ocean twenty times larger than its land area. While the challenges facing NZ's are similar to other maritime countries, no coherent national plan exists that meets needs scientists, stakeholders or kaitiakitanga (guardianship) in a changing climate. The NZ marine science community will use OceanObs'19 white paper establish framework and implementation for collaborative observing system (NZ-OOS). Co-production knowledge Māori be...

[1] This study investigates how the quality of sea surface temperature (SST) observations made by drifting buoys (drifters) and ships for 1996–2010 can be improved through retrospective control (QC) against a reference field. The used are blend delayed mode data taken from International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (versions 2.0 2.5) real time obtained Global Telecommunication System. A comparison drifter ship measurements on platform-by-platform basis to high-quality SST...
