- Cross-Timescale Air-Sea Coupling in the Bering Sea (2026) · Journal of Climate · doi
However, it remains unclear what atmospheric phenomena are responsible for the Q TH variability that regulates Bering Sea temperature.

The causes of this underlying variability are not yet fully understood, in part due to a lack of ocean and air‐sea‐ice flux measurements in the region.
