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 …

Since offshore waters are less affected by human activities and nutrient‐rich water masses,
existing theories on periodic offshore blooms (POB) consider that the POB is proportional to …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme ocean temperature events that can have wide-
ranging and pervasive effects on marine species and ecosystems. However, studies of MHW …

Fifteen years of satellite observations of sea surface temperature (SST) are used to identify
frontal activities in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The frontogenesis and variability of frontal …

Abstract The Luzon Strait is a channel where warmer Kuroshio water from the Pacific Ocean
intrudes into the South China Sea (SCS). Under climate change impact, the temperature in …

The influence of floating marine debris (FMD) on coastal and marine communities and
ecosystems is undeniable, and attention is increasingly focused on ecologically and …

This study fills an important gap in our understanding of past changes in the Southern
Subtropical Front (S‐STF) in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Paleo‐sea surface temperatures …

Oceanic fronts are widespread mesoscale features that exist in the boundary between
different water masses. Despite the recognized importance of bacterioplankton (including …

The near-ubiquitous presence of freshwater over the inner to mid-continental shelf off of the
Otago Peninsula in southeast Aotearoa/New Zealand has been previously identified in long …

Cadmium, a highly toxic metal, exhibits a nutrient-type profile in the oceans that is closely
correlated to that of the major nutrients phosphate and nitrate. Despite its complexity, the …
