What drives the temperature variability in the Gulf of Maine?
By Yueyang Lu
Description: Over recent decades, the Gulf of Maine (GoM) has experienced warming rates exceeding 99% of the global ocean, causing profound consequences for regional marine ecosystems and fisheries. While the GoM temperature variability is traditionally attributed to the warm Gulf Stream waters, cold Labrador Slope waters, and air-sea fluxes, a quantitative understanding of these drivers has remained unknown, especially over different timescales. Using a high-resolution numerical simulation that accurately reproduces the observed GoM temperature changes, this study demonstrates that the ocean heat transport (OHT) and air-sea heat flux have inverse influences on the GoM temperature variability across non-seasonal timescales. On interannual and longer scales, the OHT precedes air-sea heat flux by approximately 5-10 months, with the latter partially offsetting OHT im-pacts through SST feedback. Furthermore, the OHT shows a strong correlation with the meridional displacement of the Gulf Stream, whereas the along-shelf transport of the inshore branch of the Labrador Current exhibits a weaker correlation with the OHT. These results suggest that the Gulf Stream shift plays an important role in driving temperature changes within the GoM, while the in-fluence of Labrador Current is secondary

Celebrating 20 Years of SAMOS!
By Shawn Smith
Description: Presentation will revisit the history of the SAMOS initiative, how the project came to be, where SAMOS is today, and the vision for the future. Several unique events from the past 20 years will be highlighted.
