Intensification of the Winter South China Sea Western Boundary Current During 2014–2024

Understanding the low‐frequency variability of the western boundary current (WBC) is essential for the redistribution of heat, salt and energy in the South China Sea (SCS). Long‐term acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mooring observations show a strengthening trend in the winter SCS WBC from 2014 to 2024. Diagn...

Diversity and drivers of marine heatwaves in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea

Vertical structures of marine heatwaves and their impacts on primary production in the South China Sea

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme warm‐water events that can strongly perturb marine ecosystems. Although MHWs are known to extend into subsurface and deep waters, their vertical structures and biogeochemical consequences remain poorly quantified. Here, we use a physical‐biogeochemical model to characterize the verti...
