Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012956

Abstract: Tropical cyclone intensity is strongly affected by the air-sea heat flux beneath the storm. When strong storm winds enhance upper ocean turbulent mixing and entrainment of colder water from below the thermocline, the resulting sea… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Global Biogeochemical Cycles"

DOI: 10.1029/2019gb006467

Abstract: An ocean iodine cycling model is presented, which predicts upper ocean iodine speciation. The model comprises a three‐layer advective and diffusive ocean circulation model of the upper ocean and an iodine cycling model embedded within… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093632

Abstract: The western tropical Pacific Ocean (WTPO) features complicated ocean circulation systems and has the warmest world open‐ocean waters. Small upper ocean temperature change there can exert significant impact on the regional coral reef ecosystems. In… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Earth and Space Science"

DOI: 10.1029/2023ea003485

Abstract: Deficiencies in upper ocean vertical mixing parameterizations contribute to tropical upper ocean biases in global coupled general circulation models, affecting their simulated ocean heat uptake and ENSO variability. To better understand these deficiencies, we develop… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl102930

Abstract: The frequent typhoons in the northwest Pacific drive oceanic responses, for example, changes in sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a). A composite analysis shows that SST (Chl‐a) around the typhoon center decreases (increases). The… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl106354

Abstract: This study examines the impact of ocean advection and surface freshwater flux on the non‐seasonal, upper‐ocean salinity variability in two climate model simulations with eddy‐resolving and eddy‐parameterized ocean components (HR and LR, respectively). We assess… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2025gl115550

Abstract: The response of ocean salinity to surface freshwater fluxes exhibits complex spatial and temporal patterns, making it challenging to pinpoint where and when freshwater flux dominates salinity variability. This study uses Gaussian Mixture Modeling, an… read more here.
