Mesoscale Eddy Currents Reshape the Spatial Distribution of Wave Height in the Southern Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Mesoscale eddy currents influence ocean surface waves, but their imprints on wave height remain poorly described by observations. Here, we examine significant wave height (SWH) variations associated with more than 42,000 mesoscale eddies in the Southern Ocean using along‐track Jason‐3 altimeter measurements.
