TLDR
The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state of the global ocean and European regional seas for policy and decision-makers with the additional aim of increasing general public awareness about the status of, and changes in, the marine environment as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state of the global ocean and European regional seas for policy and decision-makers with the additional aim of increasing general public awareness about the status of, and changes in, the marine environment. The CMEMS OSR draws on expert analysis and provides a 3-D view (through reanalysis systems), a view from above (through remote-sensing data) and a direct view of the interior (through in situ measurements) of the global ocean and the European regional seas. The report is based on the unique CMEMS monitoring capabilities of the blue (hydrography, currents), white (sea ice) and green (e.g. Chlorophyll) marine environment. This first issue of the CMEMS OSR provides guidance on Essential Variables, large-scale changes and specific events related to the physical ocean state over the period 1993–2015. Principal findings of this first CMEMS OSR show a significant increase in global and regional sea levels, thermosteric expansion, ocean heat content, sea surface temperature and Antarctic sea ice extent and conversely a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent during the 1993–2015 period. During the year 2015 exceptionally strong large-scale changes were monitored such as, for example, a strong El Nino Southern Oscillation, a high frequency of extreme storms and sea level events in specific regions in addition to areas of high sea level and harmful algae blooms. At the same time, some areas in the Arctic Ocean experienced exceptionally low sea ice extent and temperatures below average were observed in the North Atlantic Ocean.read more

DUACS DT2018: 25 years of reprocessed sea level altimetry products
Guillaume Taburet,Antonio Sánchez-Román,Maxime Ballarotta,Marie-Isabelle Pujol,Jean-François Legeais,Florent Fournier,Yannice Faugère,Gérald Dibarboure +7 more
TL;DR: The DUACS-DT2018 ensemble of products is the most recent and major release as discussed by the authors, and several changes were implemented in DT2018 processing in order to improve the product quality.
Decadal Variability of the Kuroshio Extension: Observations and an Eddy-Resolving Model Hindcast
Bunmei Taguchi,Shang-Ping Xie,Niklas Schneider,Masami Nonaka,Hideharu Sasaki,Yoshikazu Sasai +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is studied using observations and a multidecadal (1950-2003) hindcast by a high-resolution (0.1°) eddy-resolving, global ocean general circulation model for the Earth Simulator (OFES).
Playing Hide and Seek with El Niño
TL;DR: A much-anticipated'monster' El Nino failed to materialize in 2014, whereas an unforeseen strong El NINO is developing in 2015 as discussed by the authors. But despite decades of research into its causes, despite natural variations most probably account for recent events, but climate change may also have played a role.

Estimates of the Regression Coefficient Based on Kendall's Tau
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and robust estimator of regression coefficient β based on Kendall's rank correlation tau is studied, where the point estimator is the median of the set of slopes (Yj - Yi )/(tj-ti ) joining pairs of points with ti ≠ ti.

TL;DR: Using inorganic carbon measurements from an international survey effort in the 1990s and a tracer-based separation technique, the authors estimate a global oceanic anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) sink for the period from 1800 to 1994 of 118 19 petagrams of carbon.
