Short summary
The heterogeneous surge behaviors in Karakoram reveal critical knowledge gaps in the underlying mechanism, urging detailed investigations. We integrate multisource remote sensing (satellite altimetry, DEMs, optical/SAR imagery) to holistically characterize surge phases of a Karakoram glacier, quantifying flow velocity, surface elevation, terminus position, and lake level variations. This integrated approach underscores the value of multi-sensor synergies in deciphering complex surge mechanisms.

This study blends advantages of altimetry backscattering coefficients and waveforms to estimate ice thickness for lakes without in situ data and provides an improved water level estimation for ice-covered lakes by jointly using different threshold retracking methods. Our results show that a logarithmic regression model is more adaptive in converting altimetry backscattering coefficients into ice thickness, and lake surface snow has differential impacts on different threshold retracking methods.

This study evaluated the accuracy of satellite precipitation estimates across different seasons, rainfall intensities, topographical features, and hydrological regions over the arid country of Saudi Arabia. Results confirmed that the performance of calibrated satellite products surpassed the near-real-time products in terms of consistency and estimated errors. This evaluation could help developers in improving satellite product calibration to achieve better detection accuracy over arid regions.

Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau experienced rapid changes (mainly expanding) in the past 2 decades. Here we provide a data set of high temporal resolution and accuracy reflecting changes in water level and storage of Tibetan lakes. A novel source of water levels generated from Landsat archives was validated with in situ data and adopted to resolve the inconsistency in existing studies, benefiting monitoring of lake overflow floods, seasonal and interannual variability, and long-term trends.

The Budyko hypothesis has been generally used to quantify how much precipitation transforms into evaporation in one catchment. To approach this hypothesis, previous studies proposed analytical formulas derived based on mathematic reasoning. Differently, this study drew a new derivation for this hypothesis based on fundamental physical principles. It clearly reveals the underlying assumptions in the previous mathematic reasoning and promotes hydrologic understanding on this hypothesis.

This study presents imaging datasets from the Tara Pacific expedition, covering multiple plankton sizes and a wide sampling area in Pacific waters. By sampling both open-ocean and island areas, these data can show how plankton size, diversity and abundance change with different environments. We also highlight the usefulness of high-speed plankton sampling when it is not possible to slow the boat during sailing as well as the value of this technique with respect to extending the sampling coverage and frequency.

Detecting and predicting change in the structure and functioning of marine food webs is a priority for Earth system science. We collated fish stomach content data to improve understanding of feeding interactions for the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. To illustrate how these data can be used, we estimate species- and size-specific feeding traits, classify predators into functional feeding groups, and reveal spatially extensive temporal change in marine ecosystem structure and functioning.

Short summary
The annual widespread growth of phytoplankton blooms across the global ocean has far-reaching impacts on food security, ecosystem health, and climate. This study uses satellite-derived observations to generate long-term, sustained indices of phytoplankton phenology, capturing the timing, variability, and magnitude of blooms across the global ocean. These indices support the effective monitoring and management of marine resources and help assess the impacts of climate change on ocean ecosystems.

We compiled a dataset of reflectance measurements for a variety of benthic macrophyte species and substrate types occurring naturally in the Baltic Sea. This dataset provides insights into the spectral properties of macrophyte species characteristic of the temperate geographic region. Such information is often lacking in the data format, while it is essential for developing remote sensing algorithms, classifying images, and defining requirements for future remote sensing missions.

This article presents the first open-access dataset of wild short-beaked common dolphins recordings. It was collected at sea in the Bay of Biscay (France) and comprises audio recordings of echolocation clicks, whistles and other social sounds, as well as visual observations of dolphin behaviour. This dataset could be used to improve the comprehension of dolphin communication by scientists, which could assist in the development of conservation strategies, particularly with regard to by-catches.

Bivalves such as mussels and oysters reflect the quality of the environment by filtering ambient water. We measured carbon and nitrogen chemical composition in bivalve tissues from 33 sites along French coastlines sampled since the 1980s. Thanks to such time series, this dataset allows us to track how marine species record changing climate, physical–chemical environment, and organic matter cycles and provide precious information on the coastal ecosystem response to global change.

We present the first comprehensive map of offshore lighting derived from low-light imaging satellite data. The empty sea provides a dark and uniform canvas upon which light detections can be aggregated for extended periods to reveal human lighting structures. The form of the structures only becomes apparent when data from 1 or more years are accumulated. Identifiable structures include fishing grounds, platforms, gas flares, anchorages, and transportation routes.

We present a compilation of water optical properties and phytoplankton pigments from the surface of the Atlantic Ocean collected during nine cruises between 2009 and 2019. We derive continuous Chlorophyll a concentrations (a biomass proxy) from water absorption. We then illustrate geographical variations and relationships for water optical properties, Chlorophyll a, and other pigments. The dataset will be useful to researchers in ocean optics, remote sensing, ecology, and biogeochemistry.

Nitrogen is crucial in ocean food webs, but only some microbes can fix N2 gas into a bioavailable form. Most are known only by their nifH gene sequence. We created a software workflow for nifH data and ran it on 944 ocean samples, producing a database (DB) that captures the global diversity of N2-fixing marine microbes and the environmental factors that influence them. The workflow and DB can standardize analyses of past and future nifH datasets to enable insights into marine communities.

Growing concern arises in the Arctic Ocean as toxic and harmful phytoplankton emerge due to climate change. The potential surge in these occurrences threatens both human health and the Arctic ecosystem. Our ongoing research yields insights into spatial patterns and biodiversity, challenging the belief that the Arctic is unsuitable for toxic and harmful algal events. This work underscores the need to comprehend and address the ecological impact of these emerging species in the Arctic environment.

We build a compilation of early-life dispersal traits for coastal fish species. The database contains over 110 000 entries collected from 1993 to 2021 in the western Mediterranean. All observations are harmonized to provide information on dates and locations of spawning and settlement, along with pelagic larval durations. When applicable, missing data are reconstructed from dynamic energy budget theory. Statistical analyses reveal sampling biases across taxa, space and time.

Studies investigating the effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms and communities have been steadily increasing. To facilitate data comparison, a data compilation hosted by the PANGAEA Data Publisher was initiated in 2008 and is updated on a regular basis. By November 2023, a total of 1501 datasets (~25 million data points) from 1554 papers have been archived. To filter and access relevant biological response data from this compilation, a user-friendly portal was launched in 2018.

Plankton and particles influence carbon cycling and energy flow in marine ecosystems. We used three types of novel plankton imaging systems to obtain size measurements from a range of plankton and particle sizes and across all major oceans. Data were compiled and cross-calibrated from many thousands of images, showing seasonal and spatial changes in particle size structure in different ocean basins. These datasets form the first release of the Pelagic Size Structure database (PSSdb).

Oceanic productivity has been highlighted as an important environmental indicator of climate change in comparison to other existing metrics. However, the availability of these data to assess trends and trajectories is plagued with issues, such as application to only a single satellite reducing the time period for assessment. We have applied multiple algorithms to the longest ocean colour record to provide a record for assessing climate-change-driven trends.

These high-quality data document a harmful algal bloom dominated by Nodularia spumigena, a cyanobacterium that has been recurring in waters around the world, using advanced water observation technologies. We also showcase the benefits of experiments of opportunity and the issues with obtaining synoptic spatio-temporal data for monitoring water quality. The dataset can be leveraged to gain more knowledge on related blooms, develop detection algorithms and optimize future monitoring efforts.

Studies of light fields in aquatic environments require data from radiative transfer simulations that are free of measurement errors. In contrast to previously published synthetic optical databases, the present database was created by simulations covering a broad range of seawater optical properties that exhibit probability distributions consistent with a global ocean dominated by open-ocean pelagic environments. This database is intended to support ocean color science and applications.

Deep-sea fishery in the Mediterranean Sea was historically driven by the commercial profitability of deepwater red shrimps. Understanding spatiotemporal dynamics of fishing is key to comprehensively evaluate the status of these resources and prevent stock collapse. The observed monthly fishing effort and frequency dataset released by the automatic identification system (AIS) may help researchers as well as those involved in fishery management and in the update of existing management plans.

This paper presents a dataset acquired during a research cruise held in Baffin Bay in 2016. We observed that the disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean increases both the length and spatial extent of the phytoplankton growth season. In the future, this will impact the food webs on which the local populations depend for their food supply and fisheries. This dataset will provide insight into quantifying these impacts and help the decision-making process for policymakers.

Short summary
Changes in ocean chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration are related to ecosystem balance. Here, we present high-quality gap-filled Chl-a data in open oceans, reflecting the distribution and changes in global Chl-a concentration. Our findings highlight the efficacy of reconstructing missing satellite observations using convolutional neural networks. This dataset and model are valuable for research in ocean color remote sensing, offering data support and methodological references for related studies.
