Short summary
In this study, we use a numerical hindcast at high resolution (1/12°) to examine the occurrence and properties of Rossby waves in the North Atlantic between 1970–2015. We show evidence of Rossby waves travelling at 39° N at a speed of 4.17 cm s−1. These results are consistent with baroclinic Rossby waves generated by the North Atlantic Oscillation in the central North Atlantic and travelling westward before interacting with the Gulf Stream transport with a time lag of about 2 years.

Short summary
Short summary
Thirty years of in-situ hydrographic measurements combined with satellite observations reveal that Atlantic Water flowing northward along Norway is cooling less than before. We find that reduced surface heat loss and faster advection are likely drivers, though their relative effect varies over time. These changes result in more ocean heat reaching the Arctic, with likely impacts on climate, sea ice, and marine ecosystems.

Short summary
This work presents an approach for increasing the spatial resolution of satellite data and interpolating gaps due to cloud cover, using a method called DINEOF (data-interpolating empirical orthogonal functions). The method is tested on turbidity and chlorophyll-a concentration data in the Belgian coastal zone and the North Sea. The results show that we are able to improve the spatial resolution of these data in order to perform analyses of spatial and temporal variability in coastal regions.

Short summary
This article presents the data management strategies of the Nansen Legacy project, developed to handle data from 300+ researchers and 20 expeditions in the northern Barents Sea. Data collection protocols were documented and followed for consistency, and a searchable data overview was available soon after each cruise. The project required early data sharing and publishing in line with FAIR principles where possible. This article details these strategies to guide future projects.

Short summary
Short summary
Most satellite observations have gaps, for example, due to clouds. This paper presents a method to reconstruct missing data in satellite observations of the chlorophyll a concentration in the Black Sea. Rather than giving a single possible reconstructed field, the discussed method provides an ensemble of possible reconstructions using a generative neural network. The resulting ensemble is validated using techniques from numerical weather prediction and ocean modelling.

Short summary
We find that major marine heatwaves are rather coherent throughout the Barents Sea, but surface marine heatwaves occur more frequently while heatwaves on the ocean floor have a longer duration. Moreover, we investigate the sensitivity to the choice of climatological average length when calculating marine heatwave statistics. Our results indicate that severe marine heatwaves may become more frequent in the future Barents Sea due to ongoing climate change.

Dense overflow water entering the North Atlantic from the Nordic Seas forms the northern limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The formation of dense water in the Nordic Seas is sensitive to the properties of the northward flowing Atlantic Water entering the Nordic Seas to the south. We find that the unprecedented freshwater anomaly in the North Atlantic recent years caused the dense water formed in the Barents Sea to have the lowest density in recorded history.

Short summary
Earth-observing satellites provide routine measurement of several ocean parameters. However, these datasets have a significant amount of missing data due to the presence of clouds or other limitations of the employed sensors. This paper describes a method to infer the value of the missing satellite data based on a convolutional autoencoder (a specific type of neural network architecture). The technique also provides a reliable error estimate of the interpolated value.

Short summary
We present here a seasonal atlas of the Barents Sea including both temperature and salinity for the period 1965–2016. This atlas is curated using several in situ data sources interpolated thanks to the tool DIVA minimizing the expected errors. The results show a recent "Atlantification" of the Barents Sea, i.e., a general increase in both temperature and salinity, while its density remains stable. The atlas is made freely accessible (https://doi.org/10.21335/NMDC-2058021735).
