Geostrophic Transport in the Benguela Current Region [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1989 Historical data from the region between the Greenwich meridian and the African continental shelf are used to compute the offshore geostrophic transport of the Benguela Current. At 32°S, the Benguela Current is located near the African coast, transporting about 21 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3 s−1) of surface water toward the north relative to a potential density ...

A novel filtering method for geodetically determined ocean surface currents using deep learning
Environmental Data Science, 2023 Determining an accurate picture of ocean currents is an important societal challenge for oceanographers, aiding our understanding of the vital role currents play in regulating Earth’s climate, and in the dispersal of marine species and pollutants ...

Sea surface height anomaly and geostrophic current velocity from altimetry measurements over the Arctic Ocean (2011–2020) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Satellite altimetry missions flying over the ice-covered Arctic Ocean have opened the possibility of further understanding changes in the ocean beneath the sea ice.

Observations of Upwelling and Downwelling Around Antarctica Mediated by Sea Ice
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 We infer circumpolar maps of stress imparted to the ocean by the wind, mediated by sea-ice, in and around the Seasonal Ice Zone (SIZ) of Antarctica. In the open ocean we compute the wind stress using surface winds from daily atmospheric reanalyses and ...

World ocean annual mean absolute geostrophic velocity on marine geoid of EIGEN‐6C4 from WOA13
Geoscience Data Journal, 2022 This data set was established from two open sources: (a) geoid undulation (N) from EIGEN‐6C4, which is a static global combined gravity field model up to degree and order 2,190, and (b) ‘World ocean geostrophic velocity inverted from World Ocean Atlas ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 In the Southern Ocean, the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands (PEIs) play a significant ecological role by hosting large populations of seasonally breeding marine mammals and seabirds, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the surrounding ocean

Real-time Reconstruction of Surface Velocities from Satellite Observations in the Alboran Sea
Remote Sensing, 2020 Surface currents in the Alboran Sea are characterized by a very fast evolution that is not well captured by altimetric maps due to sampling limitations. On the contrary, satellite infrared measurements provide high resolution synoptic images of the ocean

Scientific Reports, 2018 The study reported here focuses on inertial internal wave currents on the west Florida midshelf in 50 m depth. In situ observations showed that the seasonal shifts in stratification change both the frequency range of inertial internal waves and their ...

On Constraining the Mesoscale Eddy Energy Dissipation Time‐Scale
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 A physically plausible lower bound on the spatially varying geostrophic mesoscale eddy energy dissipation time‐scale within the ocean, related to the geographical energy transfer rate out of the geostrophic mesoscales, is provided by means of a simple ...

Technical note: Two types of absolute dynamic ocean topography [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 Two types of marine geoid exist with the first type being the average level of sea surface height (SSH) if the water is at rest (classical definition), and the second type being satellite-determined with the condition that the water is usually not at ...
