Aim The geological and palaeo‐climatic forces that produced the unique biodiversity in the
Red Sea are a subject of vigorous debate. Here, we review evidence for and against the …

In the tropics, thermal stratification (during warm conditions) may contribute to a shallowing
of the mixed layer above the nutricline and a reduction in the transfer of nutrients to the …

Sea level anomaly (SLA) data spanning 1992–2012 were analyzed to study the statistical
properties of eddies in the Red Sea. An algorithm that identifies winding angles was …

Phytoplankton, at the base of the marine food web, represent a fundamental food source in
coral reef ecosystems. The timing (phenology) and magnitude of the phytoplankton biomass …

This chapter introduces the environmental gradients that characterize the broader Red Sea
habitat. The Red Sea is formed by an actively spreading rift and notably has only one natural …

The shallow winter overturning circulation in the Red Sea is studied using a 50 year high‐
resolution MITgcm (MIT general circulation model) simulation with realistic atmospheric …

Abstract The Red Sea, home to the second-longest coral reef system in the world, is a vital
resource for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Red Sea provides 90% of the Kingdom's …

Coral reefs rely on inter-habitat connectivity to maintain gene flow, biodiversity and
ecosystem resilience. Coral reef communities of the Red Sea exhibit remarkable genetic …

The budget of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the Red Sea, including the sources,
redistributions, and sink, is examined using a high'resolution eddy‐resolving ocean …

The wind climatology of the Red Sea is described based on a 30-year high-resolution
regional reanalysis generated using the Advanced Weather Research Forecasting model …
