       'The potential impact of the inclusion of new antenas in a HFR system is evaluated through an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) in the Ibiza Channel (Western Mediterranean Sea). Two different configurations of the same model are used: i) a Nature Run considered as the real ocean state, is used to generate pseudo-observations, and ii) a Control Run , where the pseudo-observations are assimilated. The OSSE is first validated by comparison against a previous Observing System Experiment (OSE). The impact of the new antennas for forecasting surface currents is evaluated in two different periods with different levels of agreement between NR and CR. The HFR expansion is found to contribute to significantly correct the circulation patterns in the Channel, leading to surface meridional velocity error reductions up to 19%. The improvement on surface transport in the area is analyzed in the Lagrangian framework, taking advantage of the full ocean state knowledge given by the OSSE. Results show that DA can help to better represent the Lagrangian Coherent Structures present in the NR.',

+      'The surface mixed layer plays a critical role in heat, carbon, and nutrient exchange within the atmosphere–ice–ocean system. Using the latest observations from the ice-tethered profilers in the Canada Basin, we find the mixed layer became 9.6 m deeper and 0.7 psu saltier from 2006–2013 to 2014–2022. The mixed layer deepening coincides with the warming and freshening in the subsurface layer, thereby diminishing stratification beneath the mixed layer. The physical mechanisms of the mixed layer changes were investigated from two perspectives: the mixed layer local freshwater budget and remote control of Pacific inflow. Results indicate the saltier mixed layer maybe attributed to reduced freshwater inflow from the boundary driven by the southeastward contraction of the Beaufort Gyre. Lagrangian particle tracking experiments with GLORYS12 reanalysis reveal that subsurface layer salinity decreases, which can be explained by intensified entrainment of the fresh Pacific Summer Water (PSW) into the basin. It is driven by the local and remote effects: (a) Weakened northeasterly winds over Barrow Canyon facilitate PSW further approaching the southern edge of the basin, moving westward at deeper isobaths along the Chukchi slope and finally into the basin. (b) The southeastward contraction of the Beaufort Gyre drives more PSW from the Chukchi slope northeastward into the basin with the clockwise circulation. If the deepening of the mixed layer and the weakening of subsurface stratification persist, increased upward entrainment of heat and nutrients from the halocline may significantly accelerate ice melt and impact the local ecosystem.',

+      'In this paper, we analyze two-dimensional distributions of water parcels as they travel poleward from 35°N in the California Current System (CCS). Daily, altimeter-derived velocities are used to carry the parcels, with and without the addition of Ekman transports. Poleward-traveling parcels use the Inshore Countercurrent (ICC) off southern and central California in summer and autumn, connecting to the Davidson Current (DC) off northern California, Oregon and Washington in autumn–winter. Water parcels from southern/central California are more successful in reaching north of 43°N (Cape Blanco) when they travel in the geostrophic flow beneath the Ekman layer. The years when the greatest number of parcels arrive north of 43°N are often (not always) El Niño years. During years with successful poleward transports, local wind forcing is stronger north of 38°, especially around the large capes, 39°-43°N. These winds increase poleward geostrophic currents north of 38°-40°N and increase transports past the large-cape region. Examination of individual years demonstrates that this region is a ‘leaky obstacle’ for the poleward parcel transports, resisting those transports when there are ‘broken’ (discontinuous) patterns of poleward geostrophic velocities in the large-cape region. Distant forcing of signals from the equator along the ‘Oceanic Pathway’ primarily increase the poleward transports during El Niños with dominant eastern Pacific signatures, especially 1997–98 and 2015–16. However, this oceanic distant forcing enhances poleward geostrophic currents south of 40°N and is less effective in moving parcels around the large capes. Local wind forcing farther north is more effective.',
