Abstract The global physical and biogeochemical environment has been substantially altered in response to increased atmospheric greenhouse gases from human activities. In 2023, the sea surface temperature (SST) upper 2000 m ocean heat content (OHC) reached record highs. 0–2000 OHC 2023 exceeded that of 2022 by 15 ± 10 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules = 21 Joules) (updated IAP/CAS data); 9 5 (NCEI/NOAA data). Tropical Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, southern oceans recorded their highest observed since...
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities traps heat within climate system and increases ocean content (OHC). Here, we provide first analysis recent OHC changes through 2021 two international groups. world ocean, 2021, was hottest ever recorded by humans, annual value is even higher than last year's record 14 ± 11 ZJ (1 zetta J = 1021 J) using IAP/CAS dataset 16 10 NCEI/NOAA dataset. long-term warming larger Atlantic Southern Oceans other regions...
Changes in ocean heat content (OHC), salinity, and stratification provide critical indicators for changes Earth's energy water cycles. These cycles have been profoundly altered due to the emission of greenhouse gasses other anthropogenic substances by human activities, driving pervasive climate system. In 2022, world's oceans, as given OHC, were again hottest historical record exceeded previous 2021 maximum. According IAP/CAS data, 0-2000 m OHC 2022 that 10.9 ± 8.3 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules = 1021...
The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state global ocean and European regional seas for policy decision-makers with additional aim increasing general public awareness about status of, changes in, marine environment. CMEMS OSR draws on expert analysis a 3-D view (through reanalysis systems), from above remote-sensing data) direct interior in situ measurements) seas. is based unique monitoring capabilities blue...
Marine data are needed for many purposes: acquiring a better scientific understanding of the marine environment, but also, increasingly, as knowledge decision making well developing products and services supporting economic growth. Data must be sufficient quality to meet specific users' needs. It also accessible in timely manner. And yet, despite being critical, this access known-quality proves challenging. Europe's have traditionally been collected by myriad entities with result that much...
The Mediterranean community represented in this paper is the result of more than 30 years EU & nationally funded coordination that has led to key contributions science concepts and operational initiatives. Together with establishment services, been coordinating Universities, research centers, infrastructures private companies implement advanced multi-platform integrated observing forecasting systems facilitate advancement scientific achievements mission-oriented innovation. As a result, able...
Ocean temperature observations are crucial for a host of climate research and forecasting activities, such as monitoring, ocean reanalysis state estimation, seasonal-to-decadal forecasts, forecasting. For all these applications, it is to understand the uncertainty attached each observations, accounting changes in instrument technology observing practices over time. Here, we describe rationale behind specification provided situ International Quality-controlled Database (IQuOD) v0.1,...
Measuring relative dispersion in coastal ecosystems is important for both ocean health and society. Submesoscale dynamics interacting with mesoscale eddies influence mixing processes phytoplankton blooms dispersion. Two-particle statistics over an initial spatial scale (0.7 - 1 km) are analysed the Gulf of Gabès (central-southern Mediterranean Sea) using a high-resolution model through multiple nesting approach. The model forced by ERA5 atmospheric fields, while...
The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate faster than the global ocean average, as recent research highlights. This region particularly vulnerable to climate change due its distinctive topography and thermohaline circulation patterns. Observational evidence model-based analyses have revealed considerable shifts in properties of water masses.A crucial metric for tracking this phenomenon Ocean Heat Content (OHC). study addresses challenge devising cloud-based workflow estimate OHC, enabling...
A high-quality hydrographic observational database is essential for ocean and climate studies operational applications. Because there are numerous global regional databases, duplicate data continues to be an issue in management, processing merging, posing a challenge on effectively accurately using oceanographic derive robust statistics reliable products. This study aims provide algorithm identify the duplicates assign labels them. We propose first definition of exact possible duplicates;...
The North Atlantic Ocean has a crucial role in the regional and global climate, with significant socio-economic impacts related to droughts, hurricanes changes weather pattern. Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is main component of ocean heat transport as part Earth’s major circulation system. AMOC considered tipping element planet’s abrupt strong this global-scale could lead shifts European American climates warming Southern Antarctica. Hence, it critical better...
The Sea Observations Utility for Reprocessing, Calibration and Evaluation (SOURCE) is a software tool (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5008245) designed web applications that permits to visualize analyze in-situ observations, at the same time, calibrate validate ocean models in selected sea region. Within framework of EU FAIR-EASE project (https://fairease.eu/), SOURCE python code has been updated GitHub repository adapted Jupyter notebook use cloud-based Coastal Water Dynamics Pilot focused Northern...
As climate change impacts ocean properties, such as temperatures, salinity and stratification, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may be at risk of collapse. A weakened AMOC can connected to shifts in global weather patterns, more heatwaves Europe. The outflow water from Mediterranean Sea has properties that influence North Ocean hydrodynamics AMOC. Outflow Water (MOW) vary due change,  affecting thermohaline characteristics. Using a multi-data approach,...
We present a skillful deep learning algorithm for supporting quality control of ocean temperature measurements, which we name SalaciaML according to Salacia the roman goddess sea waters. Classical attempts algorithmically support and partly automate data profiles are especially helpful gross errors in data. Range filters, spike detection, distribution checks remove reliably outliers data, still wrong classifications occur. Various automated procedures have been successfully implemented...
