New research links hurricane size surges to local ocean temperature spikes
When people hear about hurricanes, they often focus on the category rating: Category 1 through 5, based on maximum wind speeds. But not all hurricanes with the same wind speeds are alike. Some are compact storms while others can span the size of entire states. Larger hurricanes bring far greater damage, generating wider footprints of high winds, heavier rainfall and more dangerous storm surge.

A data-driven global ocean forecasting model with sub-daily and eddy-resolving resolution
High-fidelity ocean forecasting at high spatial and temporal resolution is essential for capturing fine-scale dynamical features, with profound implications for hazard prediction, maritime navigation, and sustainable ocean management. While conventional numerical models can generate sub-daily, eddy-resolving forecasts, they demand substantial computational resources and often struggle to maintain predictive skill at such fine scales. Data-driven models offer a promising alternative with signifi…

OceanVive: An Immersive Visualization System for Communicating Complex Oceanic Phenomena
Communicating the complexity of oceanic phenomena-such as hypoxia and acidification-poses a persistent challenge for marine science. Despite advances in sensing technologies and computational models, conventional formats like static visualizations and text-based reports often fall short in conveying the dynamics of ocean changes. To address this gap, we present OceanVive, an immersive and interactive visualization system that transforms complex ocean datasets into navigable spatial narratives. …

Fear, by Kahlil Gibran
It is said that before entering the sea

She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter

Ocean heatwaves are breaking Earth’s hidden climate engine
Marine heatwaves can jam the ocean’s natural carbon conveyor belt, preventing carbon from reaching the deep sea. Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton shifts caused carbon to build up near the surface instead of sinking. This disrupted the ocean’s ability to store carbon for millennia and intensified climate feedbacks. The study highlights the urgent need for continuous, collaborative ocean observation.
