Impact of Mesoscale Eddies on Deep Chlorophyll Maxima [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
AbstractDeep Chlorophyll Maxima (DCM) are ubiquitous features in stratified oceanic systems. Their establishment and maintenance result from hydrographical stability favoring specific environmental conditions with respect to light and nutrient availability required for phytoplankton growth.

Dissipation of mesoscale eddies at a western boundary via a direct energy cascade [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The fate of mesoscale eddy kinetic energy represents a large source of uncertainty in the global ocean energy budget. Satellite altimetry suggests that mesoscale eddies vanish at ocean western boundaries.

Oceanic mesoscale eddies as crucial drivers of global marine heatwaves [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged extreme warm water events in the ocean, exerting devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. A comprehensive knowledge of physical processes controlling MHW life cycles is pivotal to improve MHW forecast capacity, yet ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Mesoscale Eddies in the Indonesian Seas [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in the world ocean and well researched both globally and regionally, while their properties and distributions across the whole Indonesian Seas are not yet fully understood. This study investigates for the first time the spatiotemporal variations and generation mechanisms of mesoscale eddies across the whole Indonesian ...

Oceanic Mesoscale Eddies

Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research
Oceanic mesoscale eddies typically span tens to hundreds of kilometers and last several weeks to months. They are a key dynamic process influencing the distribution of oceanic energy, affecting energy budgets, heat distributions, and material transport ...

Stationary mesoscale eddies, upgradient eddy fluxes, and the anisotropy of eddy diffusivity [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
AbstractThe mesoscale eddies of which parameterization is needed in coarse‐resolution ocean models include not only the transient eddies akin to baroclinic instability but also the stationary eddies associated with topography. By applying a modified Lorenz‐type decomposition to the eddy‐permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate, we show that the ...

Effects of Mesoscale Eddies on Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry. [PDF]

AGU Adv
Abstract The Southern Ocean is rich in highly dynamic mesoscale eddies and substantially modulates global biogeochemical cycles. However, the overall surface and subsurface effects of eddies on the Southern Ocean biogeochemistry have not been quantified observationally at a large scale.

Mesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2014
Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored.

Mesoscale eddy variability in the Caribbean Sea

Ocean Dynamics, 2022
AbstractThe spatial distribution, and the monthly and seasonal variability of mesoscale eddy observations derived from the AVISO eddy atlas are assessed in the Caribbean Sea during 1993–2019. The average lifetime for the whole set of eddies is 62 ± 37 days, mean amplitude of 7 ± 4 cm for cyclonic and 7 ± 4 cm for anticyclonic and mean radius of 100 ...
