We review the advances in 'blue water'physical oceanography of the seas around New
Zealand since the last major review in 1985. By 1985, a basic description had been made of …

The first eXpendable BathyThermographs (XBTs) were deployed in the 1960s in the North
Atlantic Ocean. In 1967 XBTs were deployed in operational mode to provide a continuous …

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of reduced carbon on
Earth. In the dark ocean (> 200 m), most of this carbon is refractory DOM. This refractory …

SHALLOW, INTERMEDIATE AND DEEP OVERTURN equally, with the remainder
associated with the shallow gyre overturn, the difference from the heuristic estimate for the …

Abstract Interannual variability of Ocean Heat Content (OHC) is intimately linked to ocean
water mass changes. Water mass characteristics are imprinted at the ocean surface and are …

Historical hydrographic data are analyzed to investigate the seasonal variation of the
subsurace pycnostad in the northwestern part of the North Pacific and to relate it to the …

Eastward flow in the Tasman Sea, from the separated East Australia Current, reattaches to
the shelf break near North Cape, New Zealand, and then continues alongshore to the …

The circulation near the western boundary of the South Pacific is described on the basis of
water properties and geostrophic velocities measured on a meridional section along 155E …

A new type of mode water in the upper thermocline of the eastern subtropical North Pacific is
identified and examined using data from World Ocean Circulation Experiment high …

Deep‐sea sediment core FR1/97 GC‐12 is located 990 mbsl in the northern Tasman Sea,
southwest Pacific, where Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) presently impinges the …
