How the Source Depth of Coastal Upwelling Relates to Stratification and Wind

Jing He et al.

Summary: Coastal upwelling is an important process that brings nutrients from deep ocean to the surface, fueling biological productivity. By developing and testing a theory for predicting the source depth and density of coastal upwelling based on wind strength and density stratification, this research highlights the importance of considering stratification in wind-driven upwelling dynamics and how it may change in the future due to ocean warming.

Macroscale patterns of oceanic zooplankton composition and size structure

Manoela C. Brandao et al.

Summary: Ocean plankton play a vital role in ecosystem functioning and marine services provision. Zooplankton abundance and median size decrease towards warmer and less productive environments. Climate models predict a shift towards smaller organisms in zooplankton communities in increasingly warmed and stratified oceans, potentially weakening their contribution to the biological carbon pump.
